Three more Farmers blocks

Aimee. The Magic Jar. New paisley fabric because I ran out of the last one. My points are pretty bad in this one, may do again, but I really liked Aimee and her angles.

Jewel. Listen a Little. It looked good on paper! This was the first one that challenged me and many others I suspect. I liked its 3-D effect.
Jewel
Sara. Life has Loveliness to Sell. Looking through the kitchen window and seeing all the beauty outside. This is another one I might do again and tame down the conflicting fabrics.

More Farmer's blocks

Susannah. Earn Before Spending. I chose to select some football players, paying attention to the boots. The boy in this letter spent his earning on saving up for a pair of footy boots.
Susannah

Addie. Happier Than Ever Before. I quite liked this block. The family would see deer around the homestead often during their trips around the farm. The brown striped fabric indicates the fencing and the brown floral print are the wildflowers.

Margaret. Mom's a Whole Menagerie. I really loved how this block came out with its pretty fabrics. I tried to give a "rainbow of love", with a mixture of emerald, ivory, crimson, gold, silver and rose. I chose not to add the paisley fabric for this one.

Millie. Blind Flying.  All about having faith. I decided to select soft colours and again chose not to add the paisley fabric.
