Okay, here is my first 9 blocks together with the sashing. There will be a small white strip between each block when I'm finished quilting. There are just a few more tweaks to do for a couple of them and I will be ready to layer and quilt them down.
I'll have to take a break from these blocks for a day or 2 until I finish a mug rug for the mug rug swap. I'm just finding it hard to put these blocks down because I'm finally having fun again. lol
I saw on Facebook the other day, they were asking people to make suggestions for another bonus block. So, I wonder if we're going to be seeing another bonus block in the near future. They are almost out of time. There are only 2 more blocks to go. I wonder what it will be?
This is not the final layout of my blocks. I want to spread out a few of the blocks a little more.

I think this is the layout I'm going with for now. (Although, horsie is going to move down a row and a vegetable block is going to take his place soon.) It's taking me time making those 6" blocks. I want to space out the blocks that have a different background colors. Plus, I wanted to space out the scrappy squares blocks. Most of the backgrounds are going to be blue. I can't wait to move onto the Mat the sheep this weekend.

I added a banner of triangles under the canopy. It filled in some of the big empty feeling. My machine went nuts on me. So now I have just my 66 and 99 to sew on. One only goes forward with straight stitch and the other has a reverse too. Of course no zig zag so no Applique work for now. Judith your blocks are adorable. One thing I don't care about is how some blocks are one big item and others have a lot to them. I think that is why some of us keep adding to them too or lose interest. Over all I like them. I love the veggie blocks on the link.

I know this isn't Farm related, but I wanted to share what I made this week, especially since Judith kindly gave me the pattern.

My three year daughter saw some cute dinosaurs on a cartoon show and now loves dinosaurs. She has no idea that they aren't supposed to be cute and lovable!
So I made her a calico dino, and she helped with the pinning and the stuffing parts. He's huge! I don't know, where toys just overall bigger back in the '80s??
Thanks again for the pattern, Judith! It is a big hit!
I've been struggling with end of pregnancy exhaustion, so I haven't had much sewing energy nowadays. I just have to slow down and not expect too much from myself. Heavens knows a good day is a day with a dinner on the table and dishes in the dishwasher!
ETA: Sorry the picture is so big! I took it on my phone. I guess next time I'll resize the picture to "small" instead of "medium" .
