We have had hot summer weather here in the UK which has probably used up our quota for 2018.  Still good weather to take photos of my Farmer's Wife blocks in the garden.  This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 25 Cups and Saucers which is looking fresh and lovely.

I have been out and about fabric shopping and was lucky enough to pick up a MODA Scrapbag with some Fig Tree scraps in it which are going to add a bit more variety to the blocks.  Another trip is planned soon, so I need to prep a load more blocks for our journey - it seems to be the only time I get stitching done these days.

This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 16 Calico Puzzle. I turned around the corner pieces on this block whilst it was in production because I felt it looked better.
These are still photos of the blocks I did whilst away and the poor Farmer's Wife quilt blocks haven't been touched since I returned. It makes me think what am I doing with my time?

This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 29 Economy.  The Economy block is one that pops up quite regularly and is probably a go to patchwork pattern which in general produces a quick, great looking quilt.  I have tried to fussy cut this one with a pretty rose in the centre.
Do you know where the name comes from?

When you are working through a book full of quilt blocks, there are some you love and some you love a bit less.  This Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 15 Buzzard's Roost comes into the second category, but on reflection I think I made a good colour choice.
