Darting Birds?

Yup, that's the name of #27, Darting Birds.  I can actually see them in this block.
And #28 is Duck and Ducklings.  But I used puppy fabrics.   Just sayin'.    I mean, really, do you see a duck and ducklings?   Well.....neither do I, so, I used dog fabric.  

More in a few days,
Debbie

#21 & #22

Moving right along......here they are:
 #21 on the left is named Contrary Wife and #22 is......wait for it.....Corn & Beans!   Hahaha....so I used green and yellow to represent the corn and beans.    Ok, that one was fun.
 So, I got ambitious and actually made a few more.   Here is #23 called Country Farm and #24 is Country Path.
#25 is Cups & Saucers and #26 is Cut Glass Dish.

Alright, that's all I've got for now, but at least I'm making progress.   I'm almost 1/4 there making the blocks.   Hmmmm, this is gonna take a while, isn't it?

Getting there,
Debbie

More Blocks, Yippee!

Ok, so I think I'm back in the swing of things again.  I actually made a few more blocks and even got around to taking pics of them.   And here they are....
Block #17 is called Cats and Mice....weird name....and I used puppy dog fabric for it before I realized the name.   And the block on the right, #18, is Century of Progress.   It was a brain teaser to piece together.   Whew!   I hope there aren't too many more like it in the quilt.
At least the next 2 blocks were much easier to piece.   Block #19 is called Checkerboard and I liked using all the polka dots in the dark squares.   Block #20 is an oldie but goodie called Churn Dash.   Now I'm beginning to get excited to see what all these squares are going to look like when they are put together in a quilt.  But, I'm a long way from that right now.   Hmmmm, only 91 more blocks to go! 

Chugging along,
Debbie

More Farmer's Quilt Blocks

Finally.   I know, I know, but we've been busy in the garden and canning in the kitchen.  But I did take some time to sew a few more blocks last week.  And here they are!
I already showed you Broken Dishes on the left,.  But now we have Broken Sugar Bowl on the right to go along with it.   Don't you just love some of these names?   These are blocks number 11 & 12.
Here we have Buckwheat, number 13 on the left and Butterfly at the Crossroads on the right.   These little babies look like nothing to put together, but each of them takes me over an hour!   Good grief the pieces are small.   Remember, each block is only 6-1/2" across.
And last but not least, we have Buzzard's Roost (with the little doggie print....too cute!), number 15 and Calico Puzzle on the right is number 16.   Whew!

That's all I have for you now, folks.  Hopefully I can carve out some time to work on my blocks more frequently.   Unfortunately the garden and canning have kinda taken over my life temporarily.

Till later,
Debbie
