It is over a month since I posted any Farmer’s Wife 1920s blocks so, without further ado here are another three blocks.
Block 48 – Homeward Bound

This was a really simple block so I patched it rather than
paper-pieced it. It turned out just
fine.
Block 49 – Honeycomb

If I was English paper-piecing this I would combine all the yellow
pieces into two diamonds (centre two) and four half-diamonds (side units). I cannot, for the life of me see why you
wouldn’t. As I was foundation
paper-piecing I combined the middle triangles to create one triangle for each
row (look closely and you will see what I mean). It made this block easier and less bulky.
Block 50 – Honey’s Choice

I have actually made more than these three but I have put off Blocks 51 and 52 due to my half-triangle boredom. I will get on with both this week and hope to
post shortly so be sure to pop back soon.
Until then.........
