Party in the sewing room!
111 blocks done! I have conquered all of the blocks in The Farmer’s Wife Sampler! And I don’t have any left to remake either! I finished those yesterday as well.
#008 Bouquet
An extremely easy paper-piecing block. I was just avoiding it because, as I’ve said, I’m so over basket blocks.
#011 Broken Dishes
A re-make, because when I looked over the photos of these block in my Flickr group, I just hated the original attempt when compared with the rest of the blocks.
#016 Calico Puzzle
Re-make number two. Thankfully all the blocks I decided to remake were super simple. I pulled some of the older stuff from the stash. Lots of prints are going to be headed to the scrap bins after this project. I think my next project will be to sort my scraps by color.
#021 Contrary Wife
Re-make number three. Not sure what’s so contrary about this block. It went together quickly and easily.
#043 Garden Path
I need to block this block, so it lays correctly. The colors make me think of sherbet.
#022 Corn and Beans
The last block I needed from the book! Woo!!! Paper-pieced, of course.
Now, I just need to sit down and make nine more blocks, to get me to the 121 I need for the full top. I’m debating getting out of bed to pick some relatively easy ones and get them done before I have to go work today.

Beautiful – congratulations! I love the background fabric that you’ve used in Bouquet!
Thank you! I have a thing for paisley, in all colorways.
