The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 72 Railroad

Still having fun with the gentle progress on the Farmer'sWife Sampler Quilt. This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 72 Railroad.  Although, this is no 72, I would not want anyone to think I did anything in order - I am currently working on No 24.

The other day I was pondering about the progress of my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt and browsed back through the blog to find out when I started it.  The first post was 12th February 2019, so I though I had better show you all a photo of all the blocks done so far. 

In total I have done 66 blocks which represents 59% of the blocks, with an average of 5.5 blocks a month.  Before my big prep day over Christmas, stitching on this project had ground to a halt, but it is making happy progress at the moment, so I am optimistic about finishing the rest of them this year.

When you take a photo of them all laid out you spot some blocks that you would like to change.  Two have been replaced already, but there are some there that probably need a bit of adjusting.  I still haven't worked out my layout, but I think I had better concentrate on finishing the blocks first - that can follow.

I found this little block, the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 58 Mother's Dream, hiding in a bag half done.  I don't know how long it had been sitting there.  There was enormous satisfaction in stitching a few seams together to get a quick finish.

BTW, pop back tomorrow as it is the First Anniversary of this Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt!

This one is Oh so pretty - the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 70 Prairie Queen.  I seem to been having a 'pink' phase at the moment as it seems to be my go to colour. What colours are you using these days?
