I have the blocks cut out but they're just sitting there mocking me. I'd rather mop the kitchen floor right now. :0D

I don't see the rotary cutting instructions yet for block 5 & 6, am I too early? thanks

I am waiting to see the 3 1/2 inch birds in the air. I can not imagine lol

Did I miss it, or are there rotary cutting instructions for 7 & 8 somewhere? Thanks!

Look for the above thread in: Blocks of the month and week. Every week there will be a new thread for that weeks' instructions.

Thank you!!! :)

Anyone doing the Farmers Wife in scrappy fabrics.... have you thought about what color fabric to use to frame the blocks and borders? I am trying to think ahead with my scrappy "stash" fabrics.

Yes, I've thought about it, but until I get all the blocks done, I'm just not sure what color will call out to me so I need a bunch done before I try and go there, but it will likely be a subdued neutral color so as not to compete with all the blocks! What do you think?

It's "early days" yet, but unless I'm mistaken, I have a fabric that will work nicely as the border; I don't want to use it for the sashing, though, so I'll need 2 more fabrics that will complement both the border and the blocks without "blending" in. I have a visual image of what I want, but can only hope to get lucky when I go fabric shopping for those other 2 fabrics.
