The Farmer's Wife Quilt-a-long has taken ahold of me. Because the blocks are so small and because it was designed as a scrappy sampler, I feel freer when sifting through my stash and scraps. Any fabric that I like is fair game. That freedom is overwhelming at times. It can take me a long time and many trials to pick the right mix of fabrics for a block. But, I'm having a blast. This is my second post for the quilt-a-long and I made one extra block to catch up since I should have 6 finished blocks for week three.
I hope to have 3 more to show you next week so I can be all caught up. Check out the flickr group to see more blocks from a ton of talented quilters.

is that MATH fabric?!
hi melinda! lovely things you're making! i like the name of that last one, the contrary wife. wonder at the origin of that one...
I love your #16 and #21, the colors look great. I am still patiently waiting for my book to arrive. I went for free shipping so it takes twice as long.
Beauties! All three of them x
Those are so pretty! I've just joined in so I have some catching up to do. Thanks for the inspirations.
It really is quite liberating to just use what you like. Your blocks are coming together beautifully.
i was over on the flickr group this morning and i feel myself caving. oh, boy. i need to FINISH, not start new things! your scrappy version is going to be delightful!

I am absolutely swooning over your fabrics, so pretty!! I just started up in the QAL last night, and it's already so fun!
I really like yours. I am staunchly resisting this quilt along, but it's hard one. That text print on the churn dash is great!
loving the math fabric!! Actually I really like all the blocks, you have a great eye for colour combining.
I am totally addicted too, its just so much fun!
