Only 5 more blocks to make and I’ll have my Farmer’s Wife Pony Quilt Club blocks all done…..Making 90 of them takes a while, but I’ve almost got the job done. I stopped at the quilt store in Norton today looking for fabric for the sashing and the cornerstones. I think I’ll use a black for the sashing, and I’m not sure what I’m looking for in the cornerstones. I hope something will just jump out at me and I’ll know that it’s the one! I bought the fabric for the outer border on my Farmer’s Wife quilt that I’ve had sitting around here for at least 6 months, once this border is on, it will be ready for the quilter….It’s always fun to look at a quilt a long time after I’ve made it, I usually like them more and am not as critical as I was when I was working on them…It’s funny how that works!
And here is the stack of 85 blocks that are made…
We’ve been cleaning out mom’s house since she died and I’ve been hauling tubs of fabric home…In the top of one of the tubs I found this pattern and I really didn’t like it at all…In fact I was talking to mom and telling her how awful it was! She was probably laughing at me! Well, anyway I kept digging in the tub and at the bottom I found 10 blocks that mom had made with this pattern. I ended up liking the blocks a lot…So I guess it wasn’t such a bad pattern after all….I’m going to make wall hangings with two blocks for each one of my sisters…since there are 5 of us this will work out perfectly….Thanks mom….
Happy Quilting!
