Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt

Last February I decided to start a major quilt project called "The Farmers Wife Quilt Sampler". I wanted something I could work on between other projects. This quilt seemed the perfect thing to keep me busy. After starting it however, I soon found I couldn't stop working on it. I originally had a goal of a block a week, that soon changed to three a week. It wasn't long before I was obsessed. By Christmas I completed all one hundred eleven blocks. During that time I also make a quilt for my granddaughter, many American Girl Doll outfits, and completed quite a few other projects. By the middle of January of this year the quilt top was off to the quilter. I love the way it turned out.

Like I said, there are 111 different 6 inch blocks.  It was so fun to see how each one turned out.  I started to think of them as people.  Some I loved, some not so much.  Some were simple, some very fancy (there are a few blocks with 72 pieces), but when put together they made a beautiful quilt!

Whoever gets this quilt also get a matching set of pillowcases I crocheted around!

Since the first of the year I also bound two additional quilts.  I finished these tops quite a few years ago but just recently had them quilted.

 

All of my quilts are completed and it's time to start a new one.  I have quite a few ideas going around in my head but Hazel's will be the next one started (I'm thinking pink and brown), then there is Roman and then.....
