If you haven't seen this wonderful quilt along while surfing the various quilt blogs, you are missing out! It was started by Amanda and Angela. There is a wonderful Farmer's Wife Quilt Along Flickr group with over 2000 blocks on it now! I like to just go to the flickr group, choose the album, click on slideshow and enjoy!
So, although I am woefully behind everyone else, here are my first 2 blocks:
The top one is #26, Cut Glass Dish, and the bottom one is #20 Churn Dash.
SO...gonna join?
You just need The Farmer's Wife book by Laurie Aaron Hurd, (get it at Joann-they are 40% off right now-or use your coupon!)
If you want the nifty button like I have over there on the sidebar, click on mine and you will go to Fat Quarterly, scroll down and there are a couple of different buttons you can grab.
Come on! Join the fun!!
If you do join leave me a comment and let me know. I want to know how many Farmer's Wives are out there!

Your blocks are so pretty! I love that Farmer's Wife project, but I don't think my current quilting skills are up to it. Plus, I love English paper piecing best. lol!
I am not joining right now - Extremely new to quilting - Your skills are far beyond mine - The blocks look wonderful !!!!
I am interested in the book - I'll be going to look for it this week ;)
Believe me Patty, my "skills" leave a lot to be desired! You should see the first block I did, which ended up in the trash! LOL!
I love these blocks...they're sew sweet:)

Thank you Lori!
I love your blocks! I would love to join--maybe eventually. I bought a ton of fabric last summer and haven't used any of it yet, so I am making myself do the quilts that I bought the fabric for first.
Sounds like fun. I just might have to join. I already have the book and this would be the perfect opportunity to get started on some of the blocks!
Thanks , wonderful design, the quilt looks great.
