It has been one of THOSE weeks. I'm going as fast as I can, but not moving forward. Finally, I just had to take a breather and do something other than grading essays. So
here is Bonnie. She is block number 16 from the Farmer's Wife 1930s sampler quilt.
Gnomeangel is having a quilt along which just started this week. I don't actually have the book yet. It has been on order for a while, but isn't due for a while longer. I guess that is the problem with ordering a book while there is a quilt-along going on. Fortunately, the first few blocks are easy enough to figure out without the book. They even have
a tutorial available for people like me still waiting for the books to come in. I had already figured out the measurements by the time I found the tutorial, but it was nice of them to offer it. I will try to keep figuring things out until my book shows up, but if I can't, I do have the original Farmer's Wife sampler book from which I can substitute.
I was tempted by this QAL, too, but I have too many irons (and projects) in the fire right now ... so I will just live and quilt vicariously through people like you. Are you planning to use all solids?
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty-it looks like the southwest to me!
ReplyDeleteNice combination of fabrics. I have a week like yours. Here I am on Friday afternoon and I can't for the life of me think what on earth I achieved. LOL
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need to take a break and sew! Hope your weekend settles down and you can enjoy some fabric play.
ReplyDeletePretty block. Hope you get a chance to sew a little in a relaxed fashion!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done - the colours are wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the kids realize you put as much work into grading their essays as they do writing them. Fun first block. I saw the quilt along, but am trying so hard to be good and finish projects, not start any.
