More farmer's wife blocks


 I've been making these with a paper piecing technique but have had a little difficulty with a few.  Found a new site that sells the directions for cutting pieces instead.  These 2 are made with the new directions.  They start out with easier blocks so maybe later I will change back to paper piecing...not sure yet.

Giant flying geese

 


Just got back from a quilting retreat.  I finished this quilt top in a flash!  Most of the fabrics are Tim Holtz.  I found the free pattern online.  I'm thinking about making another with all the same background fabric.  Definitely loved this for big print pieces!

Swoon block #9

 


Oh, WOW!  This one is my favorite!  The colors in this pic don't do it justice!  This one will be in the center!  Wish I would have fussy cut more centers!  I can't believe how much I love this one!

Swoon block #8

 


I got a little behind on my swoon blocks for the RSC.  Catching up now.  I super love some of the fabrics in this one!  It kind of makes me want to redo some of my earlier blocks and pick different fabrics but there's nothing wrong with them.

Farmer's wife blocks

 


A few more farmer's wife blocks are finished.  I like the new light fabric that I added to the group.  The yellow was taking over the first few blocks that I finished.

I'm looking into a different way to put the blocks together.  Not sure I'm a total fan of the paper piecing.  Sometimes it great and sometimes not so great.
