I finished three blocks this week.
#39 Friendship
Kona solids used are Cerise, Dark Violet, and Eggplant.
I made this blocks to take the place of #17 in row five. I felt like I needed a darker block so close to the edge of the quilt. As a reminder #17 had a very light value background. It is pictured below.
Continuing on with row five we have
#18 Century of Progress
Kona solids used are Watermelon, Heliotrope, Rich Red, and Eggplant.
This block called for a different arrangement of values, which I did not like very much, so I made it a little more symmetrical. This block has very high contrast and will definitely pop.
#22 Corn and Beans
Kona solids used are Salmon, Orangeade, and Coral.
You may notice that this block is not pictured in my usual staging area. I am attending a three day quilt retreat with my local quilt guild this weekend, and I struggled to complete this block before I left, but failed. So I had to find a place to take the picture at the retreat when I finished it. I settled on the cement stairway outside the retreat workroom.
#22 was the last block necessary to complete row five. I’m working on putting it together now.
My Sparrow is with me. I have not even test driven her yet. That may happen after row five is assembled.
I am not “modern” in my quilting life, but I really prefer this version of Farmer’s Wife to the more traditional ones I’ve seen. I can’t wait to see it all together. Have you begun putting together your last project with the gorgeous horse fabric?
Three more beautiful blocks.
Help….block #2 Autumn Tints….what colors did you use?
I’m way behind…but moving along🙂
Thank you….
I’m glad I saw your question shortly after you posted it. I was not listing colors at first here on the blog. I should go back and add them sometime. #2 Autumn Tints was made with the Kona solids Melon, Azalea, Watermelon, and Bright Pink. I hope that helps. Enjoy.
And it looks like I need the colors for Batwing…Big Dipper… and Basket
I think I’ll replace basket with something simpler…don’t like baskets much
Thank you
#5 Batwing uses Kona solids Melon and Watermelon. #6 Big Dipper uses Kona solids Coral and Azalea. I did not use the #3 Basket block. Instead I substituted a #29 Economy block for which I used Kona solids Tangerine, Rich Red, and Watermelon. It looks as if I did not post that block when I completed it because I could not find it in my feed in the Farmers Wife Facebook Group, but you can see it in the photo of the upper left corner in this post. Hope this helps.
