42 - The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything - FWF
42 Farmer's Wife Blocks (technically 44, but they won't be making their appearance on this quilt top). I'm hanging up my Farmer's Wife hat folks. I've been attempting the task for over a year and I am just done. I've looked at my bin everyday trying to will myself to pull it out, to piece together just one more block, and I can't. So instead I'm finishing it where it stands now.
And actually this'll be a great size for hanging on my bedroom wall, so that is a definitely plus.
I'll be setting the blocks like City House Studio did hers. I'll probably throw on a pieced border since I still have a bunch of fabric. I need to play around with the layout a bit more, make sure design and color are balanced, but I'm glad to see this come to an end.

Your FWF quilt is gorgeous and will look wonderful hanging in your room!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous. And I totally understand about just needing to be DONE with a project. You're better than me though....I usually just give up when I'm ready to be DONE. I love your idea of just making it into a smaller quilt so all of your hard work and beautiful fabric won't go to waste!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't muster the courage so far to start off with the Farmer's Wife blocks, I'm still in the petting-the-book stage... :-)
Love your blocks, I only got to 6 blocks and gave up, it will look fabulous when you have finished,
ReplyDeleteLove the Hitchhiker's reference! And it's an absolutely lovely quilt to boot. =)
ReplyDeleteLove your Farmer Wife blocks! I have wanted to do this quilt so badly - but know I'll never get to it. So much fun to see other peoples blocks and progress. Just found your blog tonight and am I'm loving all your quilts! I don't usually leave so many comments - but I've loved so many of your projects I can't resist. I'll be adding you to my must read list!
