Two Weeks Down — The Farmer’s Wife 1930’s Quilt

I have to admit this is turn­ing out to be even more awe­some than I thought it would be!   The Farm­er­’s Wife 1930’s Quilt-along star­ted on the last day of Septem­ber and we’re now two weeks and 5 blocks in.   Its been so much fun!

Week One had the sweetest little blocks.   All three were really easy to rotary cut and machine piece and, I think, they look pretty darn cute dressed up in Hello Darling fab­ric.    #12 Becky & #16 Bon­nie were up first.

Block #8 Aunt was the final block of the week and, in a supreme bit of luck, Melissa of Oh How Sweet and I both choose the same flower to fussy cut for the centre.   Melis­sa’s blocks are just gor­geous and are def­in­itely worth check­ing out!

Week Two was half square tri­angle heav­en with block #14 Betty and block #20 Car­o­lyn.   In case you did­n’t guess I love sew­ing half square triangles!

I’m super happy with my blocks so far and am look­ing for­ward to next week.  It’s so much fun sew­ing these blocks and get­ting to see all the gor­geous ver­sions that are pop­ping up on Ins­tagram and in the Face­book group.   If you haven’t yet but are think­ing about it you can find all the inform­a­tion you need about the Quilt-Along on Angie GnomeAn­gel’s web­site.   I do hope you’ll join in with the fun!

I’ll be back in a couple of weeks to share more blocks and, fin­gers crossed for some qual­ity sew­ing time, a com­pleted pro­ject or two in the mean time.

Happy quilt­ing,
