#9 & #10

Ah, yes.   Here we are at 9 & 10.    #9 on the left is called Box.   Hmmmmm, I don't quite see a box, but that's what it's called.   #10 on the right is called Bowtie...and if you turn your head to look at the block, the blue makes up the tie and the green polka dot is the center of the bowtie knot.  Now that one I can see.

But who am I to question the names for these blocks?

Ok, on to Blocks 7 & 8

Wow, the weeks are just flying by.    Here are the next two blocks for Farmer's Wife Quilt.
The left hand block is Birds in the air......and I can actually see how someone came up with this name.   The pieces for this block were so small, though!   Remember, the finished blocks are only 6-1/2" square.   So, all those tiny triangles were ....let's say.....interesting to piece together and still come out with a square block.

The right hand block is appropriately named Bouquet.   I think this one speaks for itself.   And I'm still loving the fun fabrics from the 1930's.   Hope you enjoy following along with me as I try to stay on task and make these blocks every week.   Soon, I should be able to lay some out to see what they look like all together.

Till then,
I'll keep on quiltin',

F. W. Q., Blocks 5 & 6

This is a quick post....just a pic of the blocks...
Block number 5 on the left is called Bat Wing.....funny name, wouldn't you say?   And the right hand block is called Big Dipper.   I love the crazy daisies on the blue and the tiny green and white check triangles.

Ok, that's it.  Told you this would be a quick post!
