I took three weeks off of the
Farmer's Wife Quilt-a-long. I needed a break to work on some other projects. Then, in the last week I have caught up and then some. I'm having a blast coming up with fabric combinations and using some of my favorite fabrics that I've been hoarding for a special occasion. I'm also really enjoying making different blocks every time. Oh! And it turns out that I like figuring out the math in order to rotary cut the pieces. Who knew?
My very favorite block so far is the Swallow block. I love the fabrics, the contrast, the asymmetry. A close second is the Sawtooth block.
Have you fallen under the spell of any of your craft projects? I'd love to hear about it :)

Love your blocks. Your swallow block is my favorite too. Can you tell me what fabric line your used for the background? I am very inspired by your fabric choices....Maybe I will give these a try too?
Susan
fabulous!!
i especially love the chickens and the mermaids. (but they're all lovely, and i know i said this already, but man-oh-man do they all look good together!)
totally agree. Sawtooth is gorgeous - what a pink. And the swallow is beautiful - the intense orange and crisp white and blue are lip smacking. I do find your patchwork so inspiring Melinda! You grow my "really want to make" list every week!
Lovely blocks! I just got the book but so far I've only been reading the letters and joined the flickr group... not sure if I'm ready to jump in yet. I love the mermaids on your Sawtooth block, but my favorite is the Friendship Star... LOVE that cursive alphabet fabric!
I love all your fabric choices! Especially the Friendship Star :) And the Sawtooth too. I love mermaids.
Wow, I love how these are coming together, awesome fabric choices!!
Every single block is gorgeous! I think those are my favorites, too :)
These are looking *amazing*! I love the way you're combining fabrics, and the blocks all look wonderful together too (I commented on your big group shot in flickr). Yummy! I have to get back on the stick/spade and make some more blocks :)
is it reading too much in to say about the sawtooth that it works so well in my mind because of the paradox presented by farmer's wife meets mermaid?
I love your blocks!
Your blocks are lovely! I think my fav of this batch is the snowball. They play so well with each other!
Lovely fabric choices. :)
Beautiful! I really want to get back to my FW blocks...I had made so many during the first 6 weeks or so, and then dropped off as I got busy with work :( You're inspiring me to out aside some time to return to this project!! Thanks
