So back in August I started (about 2 years late) my farmers wife quilt. For those of you that don't know about this project, the idea is to make a quilt using the blocks from Laurie Aaron Hird's book: The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt. The blocks finish up 6 inches square, so are pretty wee, but it's also quite addictive to make!
I was on a bit of a roll at one point, and whizzed through nearly 30 blocks pretty quickly, here are the first 25 I made, I love the Bonnie and Camille fabric...mmmm...
There are so many people out there who have made this quilt, it's so inspiring to see all the different interpretations of this quilt, so many fabrics and styles, and everyone's is just gorgeous!
My intention is to make the full queen sized quilt - that's 111 blocks - I might well be crazy! But I really wanted to set myself a challenge, and I just can't wait to see the finished quilt!
Have you made a Farmer's Wife Quilt, or are you still persevering with all that block construction? I would love to here from you!
