Farmer’s Wife Sampler 6

31/12/2012

Another 4 new blocks completed.

Top Row : Block 48 Homeward Bound and Block 71 Push The Corner
Bottom Row: Block 70 Prairie Queen and Block44 Gentleman Fancy.

I have difficulty in completing Block 44. Without the book configuring the location of each template is challenging. The completed block is slightly smaller than 6.5 in X 6.5 in. I might have to sew another one of this block. Due to the complexity of the block, it took  45 -60 minutes for me to come out with a block. The process starts with selecting the right combination of cloth, configuring the location of each template, cutting and sewing. I guest the time taken will be more for the rest of the block :).

Another 4 blocks completed in the evening

Top Row : Block 50 Honey Choice  and Block 14 Butterfly At The Cross Road
Bottom Row: Block 17 Cat and Mice and Block 23 Country Farm

These blocks look nice after they are trimmed into 6.5 X 6.5 in blocks. Want to see how does the blocks look like before the trimming session ? Here it is

Try my best to make a perfect block but it is not that easy especially when the pieces has more than 30 small pieces :)
