The Farmers Wife 1930's Sampler

I didn't think I would do this quilt, but once a few friends started it up and begun their blocks following a Facebook quilt-along, I was hooked! Firstly I had no idea how to build them using the templates, but once I got over that hurdle I was on my (slow) way.

 My first few have the same paisley fabric in them, wanted to keep it slightly connected. I was reading the letters and trying to reflect that in my fabric choices. A lot of people have brought brand new fabrics, but I decided to use what I already had.

    Hi Nicki, I just finished up my Farmer's Wife journey and had made over 100 blocks, 50 using EPP which I loved. I was so happy to finally have a flimsy. I loved being a member of the Facebook group...learned so much from others and saw so many absolutely gorgeous blocks. Yours are beautiful, btw. Good luck and Happy Stitching!

      Thanks for the inspiration. I am up to 'Autumn' after a dicey moment with Priscilla!

      Unfortunately there are far too many wonderful patterns or fabrics to use up :)
