FARMER’S WIFE : NEXT BLOCKS
Here are my next nine Farmer’s Wife blocks. Most of these were sewn during our trip to Madison. I’m definitely not a model of speed and efficiency for this project. But while some people had a fast start at the beginning of the year, I’ve just kept a turtle’s pace at it. I’m re-ignited to pick up the pace by Camille Croskelley’s recent posts about her Farmer’s Wife project. I’m interested to try to follow her method for working through 6 blocks at a time! I’ve hand pieced all my blocks so far, but it was never my intention to do all of them this way. Especially the blocks with teeny tiny pieces!
I also recently got to see Jennifer’s finished Farmer’s Wife Quilt Top in person and was totally blown away! Seriously beautiful with the perfect choice of sashing and corner stone fabrics.

I love your fabric choices! Are they reproduction prints? The script and star print and the waves print are just beautiful, great colour combinations.
I loved the fabrics you used in your house quilt too. I’d love to know some of the collections you chose them from. Susie
Karyn! My God! So beautiful!!
Gorgeous!
I’m going to start this now. The book is in the mail – I can’t wait! I’ll be way behind everyone, but it’s good for inspiration! Yours is looking awesome.
