Farmer’s Wife Sampler 1

26/12/2012 – Decided to choose simple blocks on my first day of the journey. So here are the blocks completed today.

First block – Block 2 – Autumns Tints

I think this is one of the easy blocks,

The second block – Block 4 Basket Weave

Another easy block which used only 1 rectangle template,

The third block - Block 9 - Box

The fourth block – Block 1 - Attic Window

The fifth block – Block 19 – Checker Box

Seen a lot of samples that use various colors for the squares. I decided to use only one color with white background. Like this block even though the pieces are quit small.

The sixth block - Block 10 – Bow Tie

Love the poppa dot cloth. This is the most difficult block for me to complete it today. the measurement of the first completed block is not even 6 in square and I have to reopen and sew it again. Love the end product :) .

The last block for the day – Block 6 – Big Dipper

Yap, 2 main consideration in choosing the color of the blocks

1) Red in color – Thinking of coming out with red theme wall hangings :)

2) Unless it is necessary, I will choose only two fabrics the most 3 for the blocks. For me too many colors cluttered the block.
