  9. Oh I adore the barns! Do you remember a couple of years ago everyone was making those little free pieced house quilts? I was only just thinking how much loved making mine, here: (http://plainstitch.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/the-house-quilt.html), but I have a few Farmers Wife blocks left over - perfect serendipity of ideas for me! Thankyou!!

  11. Since I'm a pretty new quilter and yet to have a real stash, would you be so kind as to post an estimation of fabric yardage needed to make a large lap size barn quilt? (or the 12 blocks you will be making).

  14. I love this and can't wait to get started but have one more row to go in the row along! Is the row along finished? Did I miss some posts or are you doing two at once... no, no one would have two going at once...? Would they? :)

  23. Hmm. So I could do this to all my blocks with farmer's wife and then put them together and not feel badly I didn't make them all? I promised myself no new projects but you make a good case....

  33. SWOON - Can one ever have just too many things to do? I'm in hope to get barn raising real soon.

  34. I've been sorting through red fabrics for an hour to find the perfect barn prints :) When the quilt is finshed will it matter which way the barns face? The view of the barn from my childhood bedroom window was facing right (like your Farmer's Wife quilt back), but the tutorial gives directions for facing left. I think I would prefer the right if it won't look odd in the overall design. Thanks for sharing your inspiration!

  38. I have a question, will all of the barns be different? I was just wondering if I could extra pieces of the background fabric? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  39. This is my first time doing this, can someone tell me how much fabric I need? I can't wait to make this, I'm a farmer's girl also!

  44. Hi Lori! I love this quilt along! I can't wait to get started! I am a farmer and would love to see, if it's possible, a round barn (I am infatuated with round barns), maybe a hay wagon and a combine? Just throwing out some ideas. :) Thanks again!

  46. This quilt actually excites me. I am looking into purchasing a small barn to turn into my Art & Quilting Studio and this square would make the perfect banner to hang on my door. You are so clever and talented. Thank you for your inspiration :)
