Not stupid. Back in the 30s or so, a newspaper or a magazine geared for farm wives ran a series of articles by asking the question,"Would you like your daughter to marry a farmer?" Letters poured in and a winner was chosen. Laurie found out about this contest and got permission from the newspaper to reprint the letters along with coming up with a block pattern to accompany them. The result is this Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt book. These little blocks become addicitve. Once you finish these, you might want to look at the book, "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler" by Jennifer Chiaverinni of the Elm Creek Quilts book series. That quilt has 140 6" blocks - all different. Farmer's Wife has 110 blocks.
