Farmer's wife almost done! YAY!
 
2 Attachment(s)
After a year and a half and several attempts to finish this quilt I'm finally on track. I'm so excited about it I could not wait for it to be quilted before I showed it. I know there are several mistakes here but I love it, especially the little blocks with the bright colors. I have made "neater" quilts before but never one like this. There are 75 different blocks with doubles made for a total of 150 blocks.

Congratulations, what an accomplishment. I bought the book, printed the templates and found I wasn't as accurate as I should be to get the right size. I stopped, but maybe I should give it another try. Thanks for inspiring.

Really what a wonderful design it is, that blocks model is looking something different and attractively. Your color choices are also looking simple and elegant.

That is a lot of work to make all those different blocks. You should be very proud of yourself. I like your diagonal layout.

Way to go; and you made extras! This must be a very large quilt. I've just picked the sashing for mine and need to get back to making blocks.

Great job. Looks great.

How does a farmers wife quilt differ from Dear Jane?

My time 09-30-2012 06:03 PM

Wow what a great quilt. What size are all these blocks? You did a great job. Please repost once it's quilted.
