The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) - August 2018 Update

It is the last Bank Holiday before Christmas, so I thought it was a good occasion to pull out all the Farmer's Wife blocks I have been English Paper Piecing to see what progress I have made.  I started the blocks back in February 2018, so this is just about a 6 month review.  As I finish and blog about each block I just add them to this pile of blocks.  The paper is still in them and so I usually write on the number for reference.

I have made 35 blocks so far, so I seem to be averaging about 5 / 6 blocks a month.  At this speed the blocks should be done by September 2019.  This project has been languishing at the bottom of me To-Do list, so under the circumstances I think I am doing quite well.  I will admit that two blocks have already been rejected and are in line to be made in a different colourway.  Also a big issue is the final layout.  I have been playing with some ideas, but have yet to finalise a finished size. 
Thank you for reading my blog.  It is fun to share my progress with you all.

    Your blocks are lovely. The diagonal set is quite nice in the first photo. And I had to remind myself that you had scaled these down to a much smaller block.

    Wow! It seems like so many when they are all stacked up. Super progress! And, I do think we should all have a few more holidays in the year. Perhaps we can get a holiday called "Quilter's Day"!

    By the way, my friend saw your Nearly Insane quilt at the World Quilt show but I didn't know she was going so I didn't ask her to take a photo. She said it was stunning!

    Thanks Wendy. A friend of mine was in the USA and saw it. Apparently it was in the entrance of the display as you walked in.

    Your blocks look great laying out like that. I have been meaning to get started on a red & white fw quilt ....it's on my list. You've inspired me to epp it. I've only epp hexagons. Should work the same way!
