This week's blocks for the
Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along were pretty easy, so I decided to slip in an extra one (out of order! gasp!). I know I'll be missing at least one week in August, maybe even more than one, so it's nice to be able to work a little ahead right now.
Checkerboard: I'm loving how this one turned out with the darker green background. I had originally planned to use the light green gingham, but realized there wasn't enough contrast with some of the prints and changed my plan.
Calico Puzzle
Buzzard's Roost: I'm not a huge fan of this block in general, but I guess it's okay in these fabrics.
Seventeen done now! I'm hoping to do another extra one next week, which means I can miss a week in August and still be on track.

They look super. I really like the colors you are using.
ReplyDeleteLove that checkerboard block, Lee! They all look great though!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the checkerboard!! And the other two are awesome!! All of these blocks look wonderful! Are you going to sew the quilt on point?
ReplyDeleteThe green in the checkerboard block is perfect! They all look great together.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, that green was a smart choice. Your blocks are looking remarkably cohesive as a group. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks... they all look great together!
ReplyDeleteThose are great! I love the mixture of geometrics in the Checkerboard block.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that green you used for the background of your checkerboard block!!! Definitely kicks my boring checkerboard's behind :) I love how all of your blocks are looking together - you clearly put lots of thought into your fabric choices because they all mesh so well!
ReplyDeleteI love the floral pattern in the buzzards roost! I have some of that and think it is so pretty. I love your color scheme for this quilt. It's quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh I love the checkerboard block! These all look great, but especially love the checkerboard one!

ReplyDeleteLucky week 7. I LOVE these blocks! What great colors.
ReplyDeletegonna be a really great quilt :-)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are great! I am so eager to try some of these. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks. Thanks to you, I have bought the book and started on the QAL. I have a lot of catch up to do. Right now, I have 5 blocks done, but all the templates from 1-50 printed, glued onto template plastic and cut out. Tonight, I have the dining room table again, so I will be able to cut some of the fabric out.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being such an inspiration!!!!
