Farmers wife quilt

The Farmlands are spreading! I spent over an hour online today chatting with Farmer's all over the world! It gives me goose bumps!

Grace Ottesen is the Farmer's granddaughter. At the age of 10, with grid paper in hand, she designed this quilt. We had never quite seen a chain quite like this one.

Now, after weeks and weeks of nothing but individual blocks, I'm so excited (so, so excited) to show you the finished quilt top (minus the borders). Please excuse all the pictures. There are alot of them! My design wall (aka - a plastic picnic tablecloth) worked great and kept the un-sewn blocks from being tramped on through this process. I set the blocks on…

Block 48 – Homeward Bound Block 48 - Homeward Bound This was a really simple block so I patched it rather than paper-pieced it. It turned out just fine. Block 49 – Honeycomb Block 49 - Honeycomb If I was English paper-piecing this I would combine all the yellow pieces into two diamonds (centre two) and four half-diamonds (side units). I cannot, for the life of me see why…

Thank you so very much to everyone who participated in my Grow Your Blog give~away. I am having such a fun time designing quilts! It's a rather new adventure for me and i'm thrilled with the response! My very first published pattern was Pumpkin Spice and i cannot believe how popular it has become. I was telling my oldest son how surprised i was with it's success... he laughed and told me it was probably going to be my 'One Hit Wonder'! LOL!!!! Leave it to our kids to keep us grounded and…
