| Farmer's Wife 1930s Block no. 40 - Grandmother (without inset seam) |
If
you are attempting to paper-piece the Grandmother block from the Farmer’s Wife
1930s sampler quilt book then I would recommend you make a slight adjustment to
the templates before you begin. This
will avoid an unnecessary inset seam.

All
you need to do is square off section D to incorporate the A1 triangle into the D
section. Don't forget to shorten the A section too as you will no longer need to piece A1 in the A section. These two simple changes make this block so much easier to construct.
 |
| Do not use these templates - they are not to size. You need to use the templates that come with the book. |
And
if you want to add a quick-fuse handle to this basket block here is a
template for you to use: Farmer’s Wife 1930s Grandmother Block Handle.
Be
sure to come back on Sunday to see the Farmer’s Wife blocks I have created
this week. Until then ........
Thank you for this tip
