Agriculture related quilt blocks or ideas for ag related wall hanging.
#1
HI all, I'm usually just a looker on here but I need some ideas for a friend of mine who has been asked to make a wall hanging for a Agriculture show that will be auctioned off at the end of the show. She needs ideas. This is such a creative group I'm hoping you can help me. :lol: :lol:

When it comes to specific themes like that I always thing of embroidered blocks. I have done a couple of John Deere tractor themed quilts and are always very popular and make a lot of $$ out of them in raffles and auctions.
If you or her have an embroidery machine just get a few motifs and use them for the center of the blocks. They get so much attention that it doesn't require much around, just something simple with green and yellow.

Our guild challenge this year is to make a quilt / wall hanging with the theme "Our Farming Community," so I'm making a Log Cabin quilt with a Straight Furrows setting. I guess you'd have to know about quilting to know the connection to agriculture, though!
