Farmer's Wife 1930s Block no. 43 - Hope |
VeryKerry Berry is chasing through the Farmer’s Wife 1930s sampler quilt with
another four blocks:
Block 41 – Granny. I cheated with this block and paper-pieced it
in such a way that I eradicated those silly half-triangle squares. Find out more HERE.

Block 42 – Heather. Another block that I’ve
covered already HERE. I loved this block – so much that I
made two. .

Then
we came to a block I was looking forward to and which I like the look of....
Block 43 – Hope. This block has a partial seam and my notes
read “not sure I got the partial seam
perfect but it is pretty and to size”.
It is also sashed and joined to another already!

Block 44 – Iris. I struggled with this
block. Notes tell all ..... “Seams
didn’t match up when joining two halves.
I don’t quite know why because the middle and ends match and it is to
size. Unpicked and restitched. Better match but still unsure. Maybe I am being too fussy.”

GnomeAngel managed another two blocks before scheduling a break until 1st
March. Both blocks are covered briefly
here as they have been blogged about before:
Block 11 – Bea. This has been blogged about HERE. I like how the handle looks like ribbon – it isn’t,
it is the small stripe on the fabric that makes it appear so.

Block 23 – Charlotte. This was an easy block to
paper-piece and I made it in two halves.
Nothing challenging – quite straightforward.

I actually only have another 7 or 8 blocks to make and you
can see all the blocks I've made so far over on my Farmer’s Wife PinterestBoard or on my Farmer’s Wife tab above.
Sew until tomorrow when I shall be sharing my Splendid Sampler blocks .......
I think these latest blocks are some of my favorite so far, Amanda!! They look PERFECT to my eye!! My faves are Charlotte and Heather! Your fabric selections are simply gorgeous!!

I loved making Heather. Such a lovely block to paper-piece.
DeleteAt the risk of sounding like a broken down record ;) Your fabrics are always to die for!!! Gorgeous blocks!! By the way what is your favourite 'white' background fabric?
ReplyDeleteIt is Kona Snow Elly - a slightly off-white.
DeletePERFECT! As usual..... I love them.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I can say, hand-on-heart, they are not perfect but they are such fun and look good. ๐๐๐
DeleteI agree that they really do look perfect! Your skills are really sharp, from making blocks each day over the past year or so. Practice really must make perfect. I love each one of these...can't even choose a new favorite today!
