I've "joined" a thing or two on flickr before.....but never quite got around to finishing. No, actually I never even started! When
Amanda let on she was doing the
Farmer'sWife Sampler Quilt -I said 'why not?' I have the book, so let's make it happen,right? I will really have to push myself to finish this one. 111 blocks. Knock off 2 each week.....
I decided to start using some of the Flea Market Fancy that's been sitting, just sitting, in a bag on a shelf.....
Well, here's
#1
#2
After making the first two blocks in all FMF....... I decided some solids were in order. In fact, I might go back and take #1 and #2 apart and throw some solids in with them. Not sure.
I have done very little applique by hand. I think the following block shows that - blatantly, really. -sigh-
I added the handle on totally funky too, just cuz. I like it.

#5 Wrinkle-y Batwings!
Happy Wednesday!

great fabrics! i think your applique looks fine (definitely much better than my own). :o)
ReplyDeleteThis will be such a great quilt. I think adding solids to the blocks will compliment the fmf fabric perfectly. I just got the book too and need to see if I can commit to such a big project. Thanks for sharing your blocks. It is getting harder to resist this project when there are blocks like yours being shown.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the only person NOT in this quiltalong. Your blocks look great so far!
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look great. I need motivation, I really want to make Noah a quilt!
