Progress on quilting stuff this week has been slow but steady; sometimes that’s just how it has to be! I’m really trying to savor any sewing moments I have during busy days and weeks. I was really happy to get the scrappy binding machine stitched onto my Swoon quilt–seems that’s the hardest part to accomplish. Now I just need an excuse to sit down and watch some t.v., and I can get this quilt finished up.
Once again I used my scraps from the FatQuarterShop block to make my Farmer’s Wife blocks for the week, adding in just a couple of pieces from the scrap bin!
Block #48, Homeward Bound
Block #81, Snowball
Block # 34, Flock
And the Flurry version blocks…
Homeward Bound
Snowball
Flock
I have 36 blocks in each set now…think some whole group photos might be in order soon!
This amazing fabric (Veranda by Amanda Murphy) arrived on my doorstep recently; it was a complete surprise and so much fun to receive. There is also some to give away…details on that coming soon!

Beautiful blocks!
I recently bought some binding clips and I love them, so much better than getting stuck with pins

Your blocks are lovely Sherri. I am just about to sew a scrappy binding onto my swoon quilt, I can't wait to sit and sew the binding. I do that in the evenings when we are watching tele. Have a great day.
