I tried to put something different in each block. That was taxing on my brain!!

I love that you quilted each block differently. I bet it was hard coming up with a different design for each, but it looks gorgeous.

I like that the piecer sashed each block. Many of the Farmer's Wives quilt I've seen do not have sashing and the individual blocks get lost. You can really see them in this quilt.
