Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt

The Quilter's Club of America has several message boards on it having to do with quilting (obviously).  Well, one of the members began a new group called Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt, and I joined it.  This group will make the quilt blocks found in the book, "Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt" by Laurie Aaron Hird.

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt:

Letters From 1920s Farm Wives And The 111 Blocks They Inspired
















I found wonderful fabric at a local quilt shop and I made the first 3 blocks that were assigned a couple of weeks ago.  Here are my blocks:


Autumn Tints

Basket Weave


Box



The stories that go along with these blocks are quite interesting. It is amazing what people thought in the 1920s.  

Follow me as I make 110 blocks from this book.  It should prove to be quite an interesting ride!
