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 Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt - First Year Anniversary

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?
