I started this quilt in July 2011 and 8 months later it's done.
Finally!!!
My Farmer's Wife Quilt
I did all of it.
The cutting (so much cutting!), the piecing and the quilting.
It is 72 blocks total.
I planned on making all 111 blocks but I just couldn't do it.
The fabric is mainly Sunkissed from Sweetwater
but also some Flea Market Fancy
and Denyse Schmidt's new line called Aunt Edna
and other misc fabrics that I mixed in.
I alternated the blocks between a
loved that idea.
So glad it is finished.
It is very hard to get a good picture of it by myself.
Hopefully I will get a better one soon!

Its just wonderful! Having the alternating blocks makes a really nice effect. You did a beautiful job.
Wow Kristin!! It's beautiful!!
It's just beautiful! Such patience to work on something so big and so rewarding too I'll bet. I love the colors...so cheerful!
It's gorgeous, Kristin! I love the plaid binding. And I think the alternating square/diamond layout is perfect. Can't wait to see the whole thing :)
its really lovely, and I love the setting out of the blocks. I am doing this setting too but king size, i really like your color/fabric choices...and the binding looks fab.
Ahhh! Wonderful! I've stalled on mine, but this was the inspiration I needed, thank you! I love the Aunt Edna prints you put in there, I may have to go back to Joann's today. I love that you didn't make all 111 blocks, that was intimidating me a little bit. I love the tag you included too, that's so clever! Love it, such a happy beautiful quilt!
Great job! Wonderful fabric choices!
