Farm Girl Friday - Farm Girl Vintage " Hauling Day" Block Tutorial!!!

I want to show you something fun that 

we did for our 

Farm Girl Vintage Retreat 

last week.

This is my Farm Girl Tractor 

(without embroidery yet)

The pattern for the tractor block

 is on page 82 in my book

Farm Girl Vintage

We just celebrated 1 year of 

playing with my book!

I've had so much fun doing

 Farm Girl Fridays and Farm Girl Retreat/Workshops:)

I designed the Cake block and

 did a tutorial here as well.

Today let's continue the celebration by making the tractor trailer! 

I used the same fabrics for my trailer that I used for the tractor:)

When I made my tractor...

 I made 3 small tire units instead of one - 

 so that I had two extra to use for the trailer.

Background for Trailer: 

(after tire units)

A- Cut 1- 6 1/2" square

B- Cut 1 - 5 1/2" x 7 1/2"

C- Cut 1 - 4 1/2" x 10 1/2"

D- Cut 1 - 3 1/2" x 22 1/2"

E- Cut 1 - 3 1/2" x 6 1/2"

F- Cut 4 - 1 1/2" x 6 1/2"

G- Cut 1 - 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Then I cut a 1 1/2" x 22 1/2" 

for trailer bed

 and

I cut a 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" 

for trailer hitch.

*NOTE - If you are making the quilt with 3 tractors 

you will need about 3 1/2 yards of background fabric.

My background is 

Riley Blake Swiss Dots in Red:)

First step is to sew the "G" background 

piece to the hitch like this:)

Now assemble the bottom section of the trailer like this:)

You will need to make 3 different Farm Girl Blocks

 from the book to fit onto your trailer.

Make them in the 6" size! 

There are so many 

Farm Girl blocks to choose from

 when deciding what your 

tractors will be hauling...

but I thought it would be fun for this tutorial 

to whip up 3 Haystack Blocks

 from page 38 in the book...

So that this tractor would be 

"Hauling Hay"!!!

Something we did every season

 on our small farm:)

After making three 

6" Farm Girl blocks of your choice...

sew the top section of the 

trailer block together like this.

Add piece "C":)

Sew the top to the bottom...

and hitch your trailer to your tractor and

 get ready to haul some cute farm girl stuff!

Here are a few of the 

super cute tractors 

made at our retreat...

A Happy Farm Girl...

 and another tractor and...

 6" blocks getting ready to be hauled!

Looky at this quilt!

Super cute Farm Girl 

 hauling happening here:)

This is my friend Judy's quilt that 

she made from 3 Hauling Day Blocks:)

YaY!!!

I hope you enjoyed my super easy new Farm Girl Friday tutorial and that it's inspired you to make your own Hauling Day quilt:) 

I can't wait to see what your Farm Girl Tractors are hauling on my
