Block Completed: 10/5/15
Fabrics Used: Riley Blake, unknown scraps
Finished the third block today in the Farmer’s Wife Quilt! I like this one…but don’t love it. I admit I didn’t love the pattern of the block to begin with – it seemed to be more of a scrappy block, as opposed to a geometric one, and not as interesting to play with. I’m also not sure of the selection of fabrics; what do you think? I can’t decide if the teal toned “flowers” take away or add to the sea theme.
As mentioned, Becky was the third block I made as part of the Farmer’s Wife quilt a long. It was early enough, in fact, that I wasn’t yet used to ensuring I was printing to size…which means the template I printed out was *slightly* too small! I caught it about half way through the block, but not soon enough. You’ll see that my block has an extra top row – this gives it the much needed length that it was short due to my printing! (…a top layer that needs to be repressed with the seams open for sure!)
