    Well, I held out as long as I could, but the temptation was just too great. Three of my Bee members are joining me, each to make a lap sized Farmer's Wife quilt. We plan to meet at the Community Center on the third Monday of each month and make any four blocks we want. The third Monday is next Monday and after seeing all your beautiful blocks, I couldn't hold out any longer. I don't know how I'm going to tell my three friends that I've already pieced blocks #1 & #2....of course, I'm sorta hoping they leaped ahead also. And if they did...maybe I'll piece #3 & #4!!! Here's the start of my scrappy blocks. Belles

    Blocks #1 & #2

    Belle, you're only human, right? You waited as long as you possibly could under the circumstances! LOL! Your blocks are very pretty!

    I'm loving all the blocks you've all posted. I am belatedly posting my blocks 1 and 2 (3 through 10 also coming up). They've been done for weeks, but I was gone for a month and didn't know whether to go back so far. But, here they are. I'm using the Garibaldi prints collections by Windham and Blue Hill. It's a limited colorway of red, black and cream.

    Evie, your quilt is going to be so pretty. The colorway is beautiful. Great job on your blocks. Keep posting them to the sections. Most of us have it marked to "watch" so that when a new post is made we get notification. (Which is how I saw your cool blocks) :D Your work is great, I wish my work was half as neat and even.
