Oh how I forgot how much I love working on my Farmer's Wife Quilt. I cracked on with 12 new blocks over the weekend and had a blast! but yikes, did I forget how labour intensive they were!? These pretty 6" blocks may look relatively easy peasy to some, but not me :/ I'm finding some of them quite the challenge! Especially the one's with flying geese units, I'm avoiding those blocks at all costs now…

How's your #fwqal going?
PS. apologies to some of my lovely readers who are kind enough to leave comments but I haven't got back to you! A lot of comments are not being fed back to my email account so I haven't been able to reply, agh.. blogger can be a nuisance. Oh, and you may notice a picture of MEEE! on the blog now, I know? what was I thinking!? but I figured it was high time to have a permanent photo of my on here - like every blogger. I've been meaning to do it for years but I never have photo's of myself, and I had to take one of myself the other day for a publication so I figured I would post it here too! Maybe the fwq blocks may distract you anyway ;) xo
An enjoyable challenge, but a challenge nonetheless. I think my general piecing accuracy has definitely improved over time so I'm looking back at older blocks and thinking "what?!". I'm also finding that since it's taking an age to complete my taste is changing as well, so I may need to update some blocks, oops! I'm also in a quandary about adding solid white to some blocks, until now I had only used patterned fabric? Now I'm undecided.
I've been making the blocks in sets of four at a time and chain piecing as much as possible - following Camille Roskelley's FWQ tips. She recommends doing them six at a time but I don't think I have a workspace that allows me that so I can get into a bit of a muddle doing it that way.
