Welcome NickyLSF to the FWS!! I'm one of the latecomers too.
Looks like you're off to a great start with two really nice blocks!
Me? I've been helter skelter in my fabrics. So, no, my pairs are not usually matching! I have all my fabrics segregated and as I do a block I look at what's been made and what colours I need more/less of .... and what I think will work nice in the block.
We'll look forward to seeing more of your blocks soon!
P.S. The "Pioneers" have been very supportive to we late starters, though now have lost their "watch" updates for the FWS threads. As you have pairs posted, you could join OKSewGlad and I in posting them on this thread, as most seem to have picked it back up.

I'm hoping to get my latest ones posted tomorrow/Sunday ... if all goes well!

Thanks, QuiltE! This is really fun, even though I have other projects I am trying to finish! I am doing the Houses and the Stars BOM's, and have two quilts in progress that are gifts for friends.
It is a challenge finding the threads for the first FWS blocks, but I did bookmark a page that has a list of links for most of them.
I joined the Yahoo Group that has pdf files for paper pieced patterns for all the blocks. PP is my favorite method! I have Quilt Pro that can also generate foundation patterns from either stock or drafted blocks, so I should be good to go either way.

I started with the original group back in Aug 2010. I kept up with them in fits and starts, but am going all out to finish now. I only have 24 more to go! I'm planning on starting The Pony Club quilt with the original group here in January. I'm putting the pedal to the metal to get FWS finished before then!
Welcome, welcome!

Nicky, welcome to the group! It's so much fun to see people starting up and then get to see their blocks as they post them. I love your blocks and the colors. You've got a good eye.

I agree that the finding of the FWS threads are now difficult. I'll be on the search tmro/Monday as I have a bunch of pics to post and will be hunting out those threads. Get yourself linked onto the thread I gave you in my previous post, and then once I post the threads/blocks I posted to, you'll be able to find those ones easy enough by stalking me. Also, stalk Honchey's threads and you'll find all the threads. Just that in this new system they are not in their tidy order they were in the old one.
Go to Home page. Towards the bottom on a darker bar; click on User Defined Topics. "The Farmers Wife Quilt Along", there are 46 threads located, but let's be realistic there are 52 weeks in the year and there were usually 3 threads per week--Discussion, rotary instructions, and pics. Where are the other 100+ threads? I am now running an Advanced Search and only 39 threads came up Using "The Farmers Wife Quilt Along" tag and only 29 came up. It is better to go to "Honchey"'s profile and think they are all there.
