Hi. Today I'm a guest blogger for the Fat Quarter Shop's Farm Girl Vintage sew along.
Farm Girl Vintage is a fabulous book by the super talented Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet.
The book includes instructions for the sampler quilt on the front cover as well as lots of other projects based on the 40 + blocks in the cover quilt. The block I was lucky enough to make is called Summer Star. After a very cold winter here in Tasmania, summer is something I'm really looking forward to.
Lori includes instructions for making both a 6" and 12" version of each block. I choose to make 12" blocks as I sometimes struggle with accuracy when constructing blocks with tiny pieces.
For fabrics, I used a mixture of Miss Kate and Hello Darling by Bonnie and Camille.
After making the first block I was so happy with the results I just kept sewing.
So far I've finished four blocks with another five cut out ready to sew. At this stage I'm envisioning a nine block quilt with simple sashing but who knows what I'll end up with!
Thank you to Fat Quarter Shop and Lori for letting me be part of today's edition of #FarmGirlFridays. It sure is fun to be sewing and blogging again.
