Farmers Wife
2 Attachment(s)
The Farmers Wife book contains 100 patterns of 6 1/2 inch blocks designed by women married to farmers many years ago .I can't remember the exact years . I wouldn't have attempted them except they gave paper pieced patterns as an easier way to make them. Some had over 50 pieces. I made 53 of them
|
53 is plenty. and all in green and white is stunning. a beautiful quilt!
|
Beautiful result....it looks ethereal.
|
That's fantastic!
|
Beautiful quilt and quilting. That green makes it jewel-like, specifically emeralds.
|
Absolutely beautiful quilt, quilting and colors.
|
It's a beauty!!
|
Lovely quilt!
|
An heirloom for sure! Nicely done and thanks for posting.
|
Kudos to you for giving it a go. Turned out sooooo beautiful and my favorite color. If you ever get tired of it, you can send it my way and I'll love it to death. Great job.
|
nicely done, love the colors and quilting
|
Beautiful quilt and the quilting is perfect for it.
|
Beautifil quilt and a great layout. Love the greens!
|
This is a stunning quilt. I like this setting for the Farmers Wife blocks so much better than any other I have seen. Great job!
|
What could be better in the eyes of those farmers than bright greens. I think your quilt is gorgeous. I like your quilting choices because they complement the lovely squares rather than compete with them. I like the paper pieced technique you used. Great finish.
|
Agree with comment #14- absolutely stunning!
|
What a beautiful quilt! Great work!
|
Beautiful quilt and quilting! That green is such a lush color, great choice.

beautiful quilt!!
|
That is gorgeous! I love small blocks (make mini quilts off and on) but haven't committed to a complete quilt with the tiny blocks...but I do love them!
|
What a beautiful quilt and quilting. Definitely an heirloom!
|
Beautiful in green and white. Good job. I have the book but not the courage (so far). Thanks for posting, I may have to look thru that book again.
|
Beautiful! I love your color choices. I haven't seen one done using only 1 color palette. I really like it. I think if I was going to make this one I'd do it the same way.
|
Gorgeous...lovely in greens!!
|
How Striking! Completely changes the look of the FWS done in this colorway with bright white sashing. You've given the FWS a modern look. I have the book and hope to make this quilt but was planning scrappy CW repros. Your beautiful interpretation is having me rethink that decision. Love the quilting too.
|
That is a beautiful quilt. Good job!
|
Gorgeous quilt. Love your green and the quilting is wonderful. Kudos to you for doing such a quilt with so many pieces.
|
Really Nice! I love the monochromatic look of this. Nicely done points. . .
|
Very nice, love the colors !
|
Your version is one of my favorites! Great job!
|
Beautifully done! Love the 2 color look!
|
Beautiful quilt. Love the on point setting.
|
What a lovely quilt, and I really like the way you put the blocks together
|
Just gorgeous! Love the colors, fabric and the quilting. You hit it out of the park with this!
|
I don't think I've ever seen one done in a one color wave. Your's if just magnificent and is inspiring me to make one myself!
|
Wow! This one will surely be a treasured heirloom! Beautiful, and I love the green and white colors. Great job!!
|
This is beautiful and unique. I came close to attempting this quilt after inquiring about it on the board. I was a little leery due to the amount of errata listed for one of the editions, (although I think I have a later copy.) I have paper pieced several of them though and they did come out nice. Usually I would never paper piece
these types of blocks. Your blocks are absolutely gorgeous! Well done! |
Beautiful blocks! Love the green and white!
|
Truly a gorgeous quilt! I really like the striking contrast of color - and your precision is amazing - truly a beauty!
