First, you have to buy, beg, borrow, or steal the book, "The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt" by Laurie Aaron Hird. It comes with a CD that has all the templates; these you can print once you pop the CD into your computer. In theory, we make 2 blocks per week in the same chronological order as they are in the book. In truth, we each progress at our own pace. Honchey is our "main gal" who starts 3 posts each week (Tues. p.m.): 1. Discussion; 2. Photo; and 3. Rotary Cutting Instructions.

Kooklebell, Your blocks are absolutely smashing and Wonderful!!Your colors coordinate beautifully.

Evie, I agree WoWser!! Your Red, White, and Black blocks are amazing!

What a wonderful idea, doing Laurie next, in another color scheme. Except when I like so many of them how would I ever pick which one?((giggle))((giggle))

I'm in for the next quilt! It's going to be hard after seeing some of the color/fabric combos. Will I do red, white & black? Or how about only purple? Maybe green and ??? Thank goodness I have a while before I have to pin myself down.

Evie I've enjoyed looking at your red, black, white blocks and have loved them individually. I kept thinking "how's she going to pull this off? That's not enough color." Wow was I ever wrong---love your blocks and they look even better all together. Great job; I've learned so much here.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. It is really coming together nicely. Gotta start working on the sashing.

Evie, I've admired your blocks as each week progresses. Seeing them all together - STUNNING! What will you use for sashing?

Jeanie, I've also loved seeing your blocks too, especially as I'm using Christmas fabrics as well (in a lighter colorway). Your collection is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
