Thread: The FWS Quilt-Along Week 12 Photo Page for Blocks 23 & 24

Great job ladies on the quilt blocks! I love seeing what each person chooses to use, fabric-wise...

Yes, Cynthi H, I have fussy cut many of my block pieces for fwsq; some are more subtle than others. Am trying to let each block "talk" to me, in modern terms, through the name of each block, for each block as it relates to my memories of growing up in the Midwest on a farm.

I grew up with grandparents that owned the "old" things and times and have no desire to make it a repo of the 1930s, etc.,or any other time travel.

I do admire the author's work and skill in making the quilt blocks that she did. It is so interesting to see all the different blocks of this group, so lovely, so colorful for each of our own quilts made with our own fabrics following the block patterns. Not only am I having fun, I am also learning from others examples of excellent work.

Here are my blocks 23 and 24. I'm half way through so will probably take a break to start working on Christmas projects. I'm a slow quilter!

Block 23 -- Country Farm

Block 24 -- Country Path

Oh Evie, I love your black, white & red color scheme. These are just beautiful.

Taking a break from video games to post my last pic of the week. :0D

This is my #23 Country Farm. my #24 is in my FWS tote bin to move to new house. It is nearly put together, but I have to finishing packing for the move, so I am on a break for a couple weeks. Then I will be quilting in my new room hopefully by Thanksgiving.

I'm right there with ya!! :( It's been over a month since I've even walked in my sewing room other than to pass thru or aim for the washing machine... This is my 1st free weekend & as soon as I get off here, am hoping to start back up w/19 & 20 where I left off before I started teaching again...
