Week 24--Can you believe it??? You all know I have 47 done. I am almost finished with 48--Later--Anne

Here is block 48--I had to take a photo instead of scanning it-problems with the printer :(

Very pretty Anne-very jealous of your #47, your inset seams are perfect and I love the colors. Wasn't #48 a "relief"? I needed an easy block. Looks like you're getting all caught up--are you settled in?

Hi Jan, Not completely, we're doing things piecemeal-I don't feel overwhelmed that way. We're here until the 29th of Jan. then heading back home for My grandson's b'day. I have one for him every year It's kind of a surprise 'cause he never knows what day it's going to be. Back to the blocks, Anne

Anne, your blocks are wonderful! Especially block #47! Wow!

Okay, here are my blocks 47 & 48. I paper pieced #47, so have extra seams in mine.

Beautiful blocks ladies!

RW, I paper pieced mine also- I used the original templates tho, I didn't get your configuration with the center block pieced. I wish I had seen yours--it would have been alot easier. Yours turned out great!!

Here are my 47 & 48:

Weezie, I love the crispness your blocks portray-nice clean lines. Turned out great !

Thank you. Right back atcha about your blocks! All the blocks are great looking. I had a compliment paid me on my last week's blocks for which I did not say thank you. I'm sorry about that; last week was a bit of a bummer, with dog surgery and after-surgery care.

Thank you! Weezie your blocks are also very pretty also!

Lovely blocks ladies. Here are mine. Today I'm trying to shake off a cold and sore throat, and dh has been fighting bronchitis. Not a very good few days for us.

Thanks, rw.

Granny Q, I love all your shades of purple; your Homemaker block is really stunning. Hope you feel better soon.

Blocks 47 & 48

grannyQ, Beautiful Blocks! I have been hit with the broncitis and sinus yuck too.
janRN, Love your color combinations!

here are mine.
it is cold outside! are yall freezing too? it has been below zero! brrrr. I hope everyone is staying warm and dry.

Thank you weezie & jagsd for the lovely compliments. There will be a lot of pretty quilts when we all get done. Thanks Honchey for starting this FWS quilt along. Everyone is doing a great job.

Hi Granny, I have to inform you that I didn't start it. I offered to do the rotary cutting instructions and the posting of the thread. Muriel got busy with work and had a hard time getting to do the other two threads so I told her I would do them for her as I was posting my thread about the cutting it wouldn't be any trouble. That's how it started. Anne

Another week down wow, managed to get #47 done today. Got myself in a pickle over the fabric cutting (not hard to do when coming off pain medication) so my light and dark are around the (wrong) other way. :oops: Have no plans to try this block again :evil:
Now that I am back on my feet hope to get ahead a little

Granny, Deranged and Miabelle, your blocks are wonderful!

I love block #47. Where do I get instructions on how to make it???

Yes, right on, ladies!! Beautiful squares!! Here are my two blocks....

beautiful work

They all look so different, great work everyone

Hi Hockeymom, we are all doing the Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt from the book by Laurie Aaron Hird, everyone has their own book and we are making 2 blocks each week.

Hi everyone--The blocks are everyone's blocks are so well constructed! Wow! I love the diversity of fabricsw as well.
I'm a newbie to this activity--finished blocks 47 and 48 last night. I could tell the Homemaker was a more difficult block--did someone mention "Homewrecker"?, so did 48 first. I went to take pics and my batteries are dead--sigh. As soon as they recharge I'll get pic's posted. Now working backward to one, have 45 & 46 cut and ready to sew.

I think my computer is starting to die so I'll get these posted while I'm here...Can't believe we're already almost to 50..

OK here's my first 2 blocks. Initially had thought I would do 2 of each block--glad I decided to sew only one with the CW fabrics I have. These 6 inch babies are harder than they look! And I sew using 3/4" pieces--LOL

I can't believe all the beautiful blocks for this week! You ladies are tremendous!

It seems a few of you are sick. Judy, sorry to hear you're not feeling well. :( Miralbelle, you too, hope you're feeling better.

Ladies, you are my inspiration! <<HUGS>>>

Here are my block 47 and 48.

Jeanie I love your block 47! The plaid (checked?) fabric is cool. I think your Christmas fabrics are so cool because of the muted colors like in block 48. Very pretty.

I just love everyone's blocks!! Each one is so unique; we know they're from the same patterns but they look so different.
I've never seen that fabric with the little quilting notions-too cute!

Thanks for the info.

Wow!Look at all these beautiful blocks!
I hope to start mine today, I feel that I may survive after all.LOL (wasn't sure for a couple days) This has been one heck of a down spell.
Just think we're "almost" half done...

Terrific blocks everyone!

Here are my blocks. Thank you, rwquilts, for your clever way of making #48 easy to paper piece!

I haven't caught up with all of you, but I decided to make the blocks we're doing weekly and then just work on the ten that I haven't done yet.

I just want to say that I'm so glad that we have such a great group doing these blocks. We all support each other to keep on going and going and going.

All of the blocks look great--I so look forward to see the different fabric and the shortcuts to sewing them.
Keep up the good work! Anne

QN, I love your Homemaker block!!!

Betty Love your blocks!
I just finished 47 and need to get 48 done on both and pictures, another day.

Here are my 3" and 4" Blocks for #47. I need to do #48 yet, and get a new battery for my camera.

All your blocks are looking so nice!
