This week I added two blocks to my Farmer's Wife Quilt ~ Belle and Betty.
This is a quilt along hosted by Kerry Green at Very Kerry Berry. Find more details [HERE]
I'm enjoying the slow pace (2 blocks a week) so it is easy to fit in my schedule : )

Both of these blocks were lots of fun to fussy cut.
These are my favorites so far, but then I feel that way every week.
Belle was a bit of a challenge with four Y seams! If you've never attempted them before, I have a tutorial on Y Seams you can find [HERE]
*************
Fabrics used:
Cherry print - Darlene Zimmerman for Robert Kaufmann Fabrics "Clothesline Club.
Floral print - Boho by Urban Chicks for Moda.
Both fussy cut prints are Japanese prints I've had in my stash for some time.
*************
Betty is a more straight forward block with no Y seams and easy construction.
Fabrics used:
Gingham - Mama said Sew by Sweetwater for Moda.
Blue Print - 1974 by Urban Chicks for Moda.
Kitchen Print - Older Japanese print by Kumiko Fujita
A good substitute for the Kitchen Prints,
is the line, "Lighthearted" by Pink Penguin for Kokka Fabrics.
Happy Sewing!
