I have a quick question. Would it be possible to English Paper Piece the Farmer's Wife quilt? Would there be any major disadvantages to this method (other than time)?
If my only priority was the perfection of each block and time was no problem, what would be the best method from, say, EPP, Foundation Paper Piecing, Hand Piecing or Machine Piecing?

and i believe the FWQ companion CD is a stand alone CD. this is NOT the one that comes with the book. at least this is the way i understand it. i hope i don't need EQ, because i don't have it. i understand EQ is several $100. right?
