My pretties

I love my pretties.... these Farmer's Wife blocks are just so cute to take out and look at.

All 111 of them.

Enjoy the parade. 


  Blocks 1 through 25




blocks 26 through 50 - 



 blocks 51 through 75 - 



Blocks 76 - 95




Blocks 96 - 111



This was such a fun journey.   I posted about my first block on July 23, 2014.   The whole process took me about 8 1/2 months.  Most weeks, I did 3 blocks but there were a couple of weeks at the end of the year where I didn't do any.

When I made my New Jersey quilt, I had purchased this yummy stack of Vintage Modern fabrics.  I just loved my finish quilt and gave it away to my mom for Christmas.  I had lots of the fabric left so decided to make my FW quilt in the same fabric line.



Paper piecing allowed me to use the smallest of pieces - no small scrap was spared.

Thanks to all my blogging friends for all your encouragement along the way!!


Happy Stitching!
