My Farmer's Wife Quilt

Yes, it's done.  Well.....almost.  I still have a little hand stitching on the binding left to do.  A little time in front of the tv should take care of that tonight.


The quilt contains all 111 blocks from the book as well as 17 more of my design.


This shows some of the quilting, as well as a few of the additional blocks.  I had to add some english paper piecing, a little applique, a few drunkard's path blocks and whatever else I was in the mood to sew.  I sashed with 2" cut pieces to make the quilt a little bigger so that it would fit my king size bed.  Now that it is done I am extremely pleased with it.

Those that followed along, I'm looking forward to seeing your quilts this June when we have a show and tell at Katja's.  I'll keep you posted as to a date when it gets closer.
