I have more Farmers Wife Blocks to share today! It seems like the hardest part about working on this quilt is figuring out which block to sew next--I love them all!
First up (and this is one of my favorites) is Block #39, Friendship. This block seemed destined to be made in my California Girl scraps.
And here is block #29, Economy! I used Strawberry Fields for this one.
And Block #35, Flower Basket (fabric is California Girl).
Here is Friendship in Flurry.
And Economy in Flurry. Three more Flurry blocks and I can make the lap quilt...but I'm wavering now...if I just make 36 more blocks I can have a twin-sized quilt. Decisions, decisions. I just might not be ready to stop making the Christmas blocks; it's so fun to sew these blocks using the bright colors. I guess I'll have to decide pretty soon--we'll see.
Do you ever just love the back of a block? For some reason I thought the back of the Friendship blocks was picture worthy--
Today is the first day of a four-day weekend for me. First up is to straighten up the sewing room, and then I'm starting on some Christmas gifts! What are you working on today? Does anyone have some great ideas for handmade gifts?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

They're all so cute!
I am joyful when the back of my block looks that good! LOL Still perfecting that art! You know I cannot say enough how much I loe this chirstmas material, wait... I love them both!!!
How in the world do you keep the fabric collections straight so you know which one you're using? Your blocks are really nice but I could never tell you what fabrics I used!
Your blocks are so beautiful! I love the back of my blocks too - and if I get the pressing correct I almost always take a picture too :)
I have to say I think the Friendship block is probably the cutest! And that California Girl fabric is VERY sweet! Four day weekend here too... plan on sewing some Shop Hop blocks using American Valor prints today. Happy sewing!
I think you need to keep going on the flurry version. It's too cute to stop now.
Very very cute! But I love your new header! It's so cute! :)
Sew pretty! Key leashes are great simple, useful handmade gifts. I just make 10 for Abby's vet/kennel friends and I need to make more for my post ladies, etc...
Great blocks...those are both going to be great quilts.
Yes, working on a Christmas gift today....but not my gift...one my sister asked me to make for her granddaughter.
I just love your blocks!! Great fabric choice.
They are all very cute, how could you possibly stop there. I love the back of my blocks too!
Such cute blocks! I'm anxious for California Girl to be released -- just adorable.
Sherri, You know how much I enjoy your blocks...the colors are always so joyful and the piecing is always so perfect!
Looking good! I've just bought the book...2 blocks down, 109 to go :-)
I am falling behind. I hope to get back to it after Christmas. I have too many quilt tops that I need to quilt for family before Christmas
nice blocks, I haven't touched mine recently. Like the basket in Flurry.
What happy fabrics you have chosen. I particularly like the Economy and Flower Basket blocks. Just wonderful!
Love them! Thanks for sharing! :)
They are all very pretty and tried to pick a favorite but simply couldn't. :-)
Gorgeous work.
You did the marvelous work on quilt. I have to try this soon, agree that taking measurement of quilt is always be correct. Your blocks are so beautiful.
Your FW blocks are looking great! I need to press more of my seams open.
They're all great!
Love the colors and patterns, Sherri! Just found your blog and love all that you have here! You are bookmarked and i will be looking in regularly. Have a great day!
I love the Farmer's Wife blocks. Can you please tell me where I can find the patterns??

I love all your blocks and think you need to keep going with 36 more for the twin size! They are both coming out so cute :)
I have only just found you and I am seriously enjoying your work. It is so crisp and clean and the colours are so pretty.
