Four More Blocks

I got four more FW blocks done this weekend.  I am now caught up.  My Ribbons will probably be a do over.  I kept trimming and trimming.  It would be great if it wasn't too small.

I am doing a flannel rag quilt for a co-worker.  They bought the fabric.  All I have left to do is the cutting.  Luckily I bought those spring-loaded scissors.  They are amazing and save the hands.  I should be able to add a picture tomorrow.

I have two quilts I need to get quilted.  My Dad and one of my granddaughters have birthdays this month.  Since this month is almost over I need to get cracking.  

Finished with Farmer's Wife

I finally got the borders on my Farmer's Wife quilt.  Now I can hang it in the closet along with the other pieced tops that I have not quilted yet.  But it is off my list of UFO's.

Yes.  All Done.

My husband and I went to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center to the art and artisans show on Saturday.  I picked up some notecards that are prints of dried flowers and a lovely print of a water color of a geranium.  It is going to be on my inspiration board when I get one put up.

It is so pretty

Farmer's Wife

I finally am in the last stages of putting the farmer's wife quilt together.  This was my first project ever.  I took a class at Honey Bee here in Austin.  This was probably not the best project to start with but it got me going fast.  We had to churn out 10 blocks a month.  I got everything done but four blocks and put it aside to try some simpler patterns like "Turning Twenty Again".  I was finally motivated to finish my four blocks and get started with putting it together.  The blocks are put together on the diagonal so it is setting triangles, sashing and the like.  I am about 3/4 of the way finished.  Will post a pix when I have it done.  I started out using mostly Moda fabrics so a lot of my quilt was made from Moda charm packs.
