Farmers Wife Quilt-along

Yep I’m doing another QAL..

P1040973

Have had the book sitting here for awhile and when I stumbled across this blog  Fussy Cut I just knew it was what I needed. Would also like to add that this is Edition 1 and if you have it in your possession you may want to check out this blog for corrections.

Since I am making the Civil War blocks by Barbara in Civil or civil like fabrics, I have decided to make the Farmers Wife using 1930’s prints.

P1040974

This is my wee stash ( I know not enough for the quilt)1930’s prints are not easy to find up here, so if you have some sitting in your stash that you won’t use please let me know. If I run out of fabric then that will be the size it ends up.

Tada just had to whip one of these blocks up, the blocks are 6” finished.

Cheers Vickie

Thanks for stopping by.

I got the Farmer's Wife book two Christmases ago and made a wall hanging using the darker fabrics. I would have liked the 30s version much better. I'll be looking forward to what you do with this project.
