| Pretty little stack of blocks |
My love hate relationship with the farmer is continuing. I haven't been making a whole lot of progress on this one lately and it's already week 25 which means I should have 50 blocks completed and be just about half way done. But I only have 40 blocks finished. In reality I'm not as far behind as I thought I was. Just ten blocks really isn't too bad and really I have one that just needs a little fixing and two that could be finished if I wasn't remaking them because I don't like the fabric choices. But when all is said and done and all things are accounted for I have a strong 40 blocks and I'm okay with that. Here's a look at what I worked on this past week.

| Block # 8 Bouquet |

| Block # 44 Gentleman's Fancy |
I think Bouquet is my favorite out of this group. I like them all but that one is just so cute. Sorry for the bad lighting but my sewing space doesn't have great light. I keep wanting to get one of those daylight lamps for my room but haven't yet. Maybe Santa will bring me one (wink wink).

Here is a look at them all laid out together in no particular order. I pulled the sheets off my bed and threw them all out there together and snapped a quick picture. I don't have a design wall and I have these all put in a plastic tub as I finish them so I was hoping to get a feel for balance of color. Funny even in this photo Farmer's Puzzle and the Snowball block stick out as my favorites. Do you have a favorite block yet?
You have done a fantastic job with your blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Bouquet is definitely my favourite block of yours or mine....and mine isn't done!!! Did you have to use templates?
I haven't gotten very far with my blocks...last night I made one with "sew cherry" fabric!
I have a daylight that I sit under each morning and do 30 minutes of hand applique...I miss the sun too much in the winter time!
My husband put a small florescent light in my sewing room which helps a lot, especially at night.
They all look great, I agree, the Farmer's Puzzle is really nice and I like the bouquet. I'm going to try to do another one tonight.
