I blitzed the last blocks yesterday. Oh, my goodness! I have to say, "PHEW!" I don't even know what these ones are at this point. I noticed that one of the blocks is actually a 6" granny square block but in the book, they use an assortment of colours not the patterned granny square. I made the bottom one with the chickens and chicken wire scrap because I felt that the Farmer's Wife quilt needed to have a chicken. The block is actually "Economy." There are several blocks in the book which I did not make because I didn't really like them so I made duplicates in different fabrics of a few of them. So I cheated. He he he! So what?
This morning I organized the blocks on the downstairs living room floor. I was being a bit of a nutter and the on-point layout was too much for my early morning brain. Husband was on the stationary bike and provided loud directions from his lofty position on the bike. I couldn't have done it without him! Stay tuned for the whole mess of blocks on the design floor tomorrow!
Now I just have to decide on the sashing and setting triangles. ERG! Oh! It is spring break for me. I'm off all week. Yippee! We woke up to a winter wonderland instead of spring.
Yep, this morning. March 18, 2012 |
Phew alright! Awesome work and so beautiful. Wow that snow is pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! You and I are on the same track... I just finished the last blocks yesterday too! Looking forward to seeing your layout pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I imagine you will be beside yourself till you get them all sewn together-have fun. I am sure hubby will be available to give advice again!
