Farmers Wife Quilt Sampler Friday

One of my goals this year is to make a Farmers Wife Quilt Sampler.  I am hoping I have not bitten off more than I can chew!  I plan on making this a King sized quilt. 

So here are the first 5 blocks that I have made.

Block # 2 Autumn Tints

There are 111 blocks in this sampler so I will either repeat or add some other blocks.

Block #20  Churn Dash

Each block measures 6 inches finished. As you probably guessed I will be using Bonnie and Camille fabrics for my Farmers Wife Quilt.

Block # 80 Single Wedding Star

also known as Rolling Stone

So far I have really been enjoying making these blocks.  I made all these blocks by figuring out the math's and rotary cutting them.  The book does provide a CD with templates, but that then requires you to print off all the templates for each block, which is something I am avoiding at the moment.

Block # 111 Wrench

Block #31 Evening Star

also known as Sawtooth Star

This is one of my most favourite blocks, and I have made this block a number of times in the past for Bee Blocks.

So now the weekend is here! What plans do you have for sewing tonight? 

I came across a free pattern for a  mini Single Wedding Star block over at Hopes blog When Inspiration Strikes.  Its tiny! so I have plans to have a go at making one tonight. Hope also has some quilt patterns on Craftsy which is where you will also find her free pattern for the Single Wedding Star/Rolling Stone block.

Hopefully I will get to share my mini block with you sometime over the weekend.

Happy Sewing!!!!
