The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 106 Wild Rose and Square

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 106 Wild Rose and Square

Is this my first outdoor shoot for 2020? I think so.  This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 106 Wild Rose and Square. Very pretty.
The countdown is close as there are only 5 more to go and then I will give you all a BIG REVEAL of the blocks I have done so far.  But then what?  The final layout has not been worked out and I don't have another set of blocks waiting int he wings (but I do have plenty of books with some in!).

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 80 Single Wedding Star

Today I am presenting the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 80 Single Wedding Star.  The current situation is allowing these to progress at an alarming rate - alarming because I don't know if I have enough to keep me quiet for the next week. I am SO near the end.
Personally I am feeling overwhelmed by the number of Quilt-Alongs and projects that seem to be currently thrown at me from all directions.  As if I don't have enough projects of my own to tackle! At the moment I am taking the situation to take breath and take the opportunity to live a less frantic life. I have plenty of projects waiting in the wings for when the moment takes me.

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 82 Spider Legs

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 82 Spider Legs

There are 44 pieces in this 4.5" Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 82 Spider Legs.  There is always a little panic when I see such small pieces, but once they are sewn to the next one, it is already a bigger piece, so the worry soon goes.
Current circumstances have meant that I have pulled out my Farmer's Wife bag to do at home.  Usually I save it for trips or waiting rooms, but that won't be happening for a while ....

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 76 Sawtooth

It has been a while since I finished a Farmer's Wife quilt block, so I have started to put a bit of effort in as there are so few left to do.
This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 76 Sawtooth.  Lots of little triangles on the edge which needed a bit of persuasion to lie flat, but  it looks OK in the picture.
Meanwhile, my other quilts, including my Nearly Insane and Dear Jane sampler quilts are touring the UK with Grosvenor Shows.  They will be in Duxford next weekend.

While many of you are waiting for the final part of Bonnie Hunter's 2019 Frolic Mystery, I am quietly sewing up the last few Farmer's Wife blocks. The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 88 Star of Hope is the next in line and I was pleased to finish it over one evening.
With the New Year in full flow, do you have a sampler quilt which you have your eye on?

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 77 Seasons

This is the first Farmer's Wife block I have done in 2020 - The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 77 Seasons block.  This was a quick win with just nine pieces, a great way to kick start the piecing for 2020.  I think I just have nine blocks left to do and then to decide how I am going to put them together.

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 75 Rosebud

I had a lucky find this morning - I was looking in my English Paper Piecing travel bag and I found this completed block sitting at the bottom, the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 75 Rosebud block.  It looks like quite a simple block, but there are 28 pieces in it.

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 79 Silver Lane

Some of the little Farmer's Wife blocks I am working through at the moment have quite a few pieces.  This one, the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 79 Silver Lane, has over 40 pieces in a 4.5" block.  I cut out the pieces many months ago in April 2019 - I love that I fussy cut the white pieces!

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 49 Honeycomb

Here is a block I finished a while ago, which is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 49 Honeycomb.  I thought some bees would appreciate to flowers to collect some honey when I was choosing the fabric.
