THESE ARE TOOOOOO CUTE!!!!
So ... if I chose just one block and made 12 of the same block and made them in 12 in. size, they would go much faster..... mmmm
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

The LAST of Farm Girl Vintage Blocks, and my Favorites!
I made the L A S T block, and here are some of my favorites! I didn't want to make them - too tedious and cutesy, so saved them for last. I am not a "cutsie" kind of gal, but I must admit ...
These are all 6 inch finished blocks. Remember, there are also the same instructions for 12 in. blocks, plus additional suggestions and instructions for numerous other beautiful and cheerful projects. Now, on to the sashing, then the 112 flying geese border.

Farm Girl Vintage, Three More Blocks
Farm Girl Vintage, by Lori Holt - despite the large number of pieces, they all are turning out well. I used my revolving mat to trim off the bits and slivers from on the edges. All have ended up to size of 6.5 raw.
That stinker on lower right has 49 pieces! There is also a clever "trick" in that block. Contrast is better with batting behind them - dark table doesn't show how fresh they are! Most of the fabrics in my collection for this project are soft greens and pinks and a few yellows. I added the turquoise to brighten it a bit, and will include the color in several blocks.
The instructions include directions for 6 inch, and 12 inch blocks, but it would not be difficult to graph many into a 9 inch block as well. I made a few in 12 inch and decided (IMH) "waaaay too large".
Onward and upward - steeling myself for the dreaded Voting day tomorrow ... 8-((( This is Monday, third day of headache and I know why.
