OMG I love love love LOVE LOVE *LOVE* it!! I am definitely making this for the FRONT of my barn quilt, it is way too nice for the back :) In fact my barn quilt may become a tractor quilt with a few barns (I am a bit behind with my barns LOL). Thank you so much I am so excited!!

Hmm I could make tractors and barns for my Dad, and chickens and barns for my Mum....

Lori- I love your tractor. It is perfect for the back. I made a table mat of the Bee block for an 82 year old friend named Bea, and I will be making a placemat for my 2 1/2 year old grandson with this tractor on it. He loves farm vehicles. Your label blocks are such fun blocks.

I love this tractor block! Thank you so much for sharing this! I want to put it in my barn quilt, and my two year told me he wanted a tractor quilt.

Lizziebeth said...

That is so cute, makes me think of the song of, "ride on my big green tractor." LOL

I LOVE this block! Going to figure out a setting where I can use this block on the front of my quilt! It's just too cute to be relegated to the back.

Candace said...

This is the cutest block ever. I have loved your barn blocks since I saw the first one and am now trying to catch up. I'm excited to do this one, too. I was thinking this morning that I am having a hard time catching up and I don't even have to think much. I don't know how you do it, to add in the creative thinking, math, and tutorials. Thank you for doing it for us.

Carla said...

That tractor is so cute! Just when I think you can't possibly come up with another cute block for this project you go ahead and do it! I can't wait to see the finished tractor.

Lori - I love it as much as you do. My husband grew up on a dairy farm in B.C. and I always wanted to be on a farm. This Block is just ideal for the Barn Along Quilt. Thanks, for another wonderful tutorial.

Bari Jo said...

Oh my goodness is this ever cute!!!!!

Unknown said...

I cried with joy when I saw this block (I'm 4months pregnant it doesn't take much to cry lol) I'm using these blocks for my baby's quilt (first baby super excited!!) This block reminds me of my husband's fondest childhood memories of riding a ford tractor with his grandfather. So mine will be made blue and have FORD appliqued on it. ;D

LOVE doesn't even begin to describe it! I'm going to have a tractor pull on the back of my quilty barns ... cannot wait to get home and start piecing! Thanks soooooo much Lori, for a SPLENDID pattern!

LOVE the whole barn and tractor blocks. New quilt idea for farming hubby :)

Kayleen said...

How darling is that! You are so creative. I love it! I was never a farm girl, but I think that I need a tractpr quilt too.

Key Elements said...

Lori, You sew inspire me. I was up late last night making another barn, well tonight a tractor! How cute. Thank you for your farm girl quilt patterns. Can't wait for the chicken coop, hay stack, laundry line with quilts,windmill, corn field, scarecrow, planted fields, pastures and water well. :) Long wish list - so get busy. You are so generous with your ideas, you are much appreciated! Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your patterns----I love the tractor so much!!! I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin so this and the barns bring back memories.

Pots and Pins said...

Your tractor is more than adorable! I am going to have to make one, or ten, for me! Thanks so much for the tutorial, you are a mad genius with a heart of gold! xo, Nan

How do you come up with all of these great blocks and the math that goes along with them? I have been following along since the Row Along, and copying your instructions into a Word document so I can save them and print them easily. Will you be putting all of these into regular, for-purchase patterns in the near future?

Unknown said...

Lori I can't believe you are going to be here in Idaho. I hope to get over to the Quilt Barn to see you!!

I LOVE this block. Just clinched the idea to make this barn quilt for my hubby! Thank you so much!

Sarah said...

I need to go make this now. Maybe a wall hanging, then some table matts... Oh! A quilted pillow case for the boys! Thank you for doing this tutorial! I love it!

Helen L said...

what a fun tractor!! That sure took alot of figuring out to make!! I've got to get busy on my barns: I was born when my Dad was still a farmer, so I really love this barn-along!!
Also, Do you happen to know if the Fat quarter stack of your Bake Sale fabric has the plain coordinating fabrics in it too? I'm thinking it will make great pot holders and kitchen things for Christmas gifts!! Thanks so much!! H in Healdsburg

Lois said...

I love the tractor block but I will need to make it in red and black to fit our kind of tractors. Thanks. Will it be in the tutorials along the side?

Carla said...

I'm like Lois I'll have me mine Red. LOL no green allowed at my dad's place. Just ask my nephew. When he was 2 my dad had him saying Green is bad.
Thanks for sharing this cute tractor tutorial. I had to pin it for a future project.
