Here is my Farmer's Wife post no 5.
I have been disappointed with a couple of blocks so I have fiddled with them a bit and hope you agree that they look better now
Block 88 Star of Hope before
and after
Block 4 Basketweave before
after
And here are this week's newbies
Block 16 Calico Puzzle
Now all of a sudden I seem to be going very blue. I wonder which colour will feature next?
How are you getting on with your blocks? I hope I am getting better at putting the fabrics together and constructing the blocks...have to say they are getting quite addictive!

Isn't it wonderful how fabric choices can make a block look so different. Will be watching your progress with interest.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks look so much better because you can see the block design now. Are you going to go for the full 111 blocks?
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the work in progress - I have only done 2 easy ones so far! Hope you will come and join my giveaway.

Lovely fabric choices SS. Like the new Star of Hope.
ReplyDeleteThese are looking really pretty! And I want to thank you for the sweet comment on my blog (enchanted bobbin) -- I truly appreciate the feedback :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks! It looks like you are having fun learning as you go. I too am finding that these blocks are teaching me things about colours and piecing.
