My Farmer’s Wife is coming together. Here is the reveal of the upper left corner as promised.

Putting these pieces together has been an exercise in patience. Each sashing piece needs to be eased because the process of sewing multiple pieces together into blocks adds some length to the sides of the blocks.

Each piece of sashing is sewn about an inch and then tied off. I then match up the other side of that sashing piece to the edge of the block, sew an inch into the length and tie it off before easing the center of the block to match the sashing. It is tedious, but worth it.

I’ve been working on redoing blocks eight and nine and am just about ready to start putting together and joining row three of my quilt top.

I am enjoying this project immensely and having a great time contributing to the Facebook group for the project.

By the way I swapped out block 3 and substituted a version of block 29 in its stead.
