Farm Girl Vintage 2 Quilt Along - Farm Girl Friday's - Week Fourteen!!


Hello there and welcome 
to Week 14 of the 





We are using my book 





And sewing with Farm Girl Vintage Fabric...



And making 2 Farm Girl Blocks each week:)


Our first Farm Girl Block for today is 
MAPLE LEAF
on page 90 of the book.
I love this simple little block for fall...







You can sew them up in all of
 the beautiful fall leaf colors...



And just like the Little Acorn Block 
they would be fabulous in the
 small Mix and Match Quilt 
on page 156 of the book.



A MAPLE LEAF BLOCK is a
 must have addition to any fall quilt...





And of course I used it in my
 October Skies Quilt
The setting for this one is
 on page 140 of the book.

It's the exact same setting as the
 sampler quilt on the cover but instead 
of using all of the 45 Farm Girl Blocks...
you just pop in the autumn themed
 Farm Girl Blocks for an 
amazing quilt to celebrate fall!


Speaking of fall...
the pattern for my large
 HARVEST BARN STAR 
is on page 171 of the book.

I know during our sew along we are only
 focusing on the 45 Farm Girl Blocks
 but as there are more projects 
in the book besides those blocks... 
I thought it would be fun to
 show a photo or two of them
 along the way:)


Our next Farm Girl Block is
 MILK COW 
on page 92 of the book.

For the cover quilt I made a brown cow...
just like our milk cows 
that we had growing up.
My favorite was named BOSS.

One of my earliest memories is of 
being out in the barn with my dad
 and watching him milk the cow.
I liked the sound of the milk 
as it went into the bucket:)


I thought it would be fun to make a
 6" black and white cow...



And give it a ride in the back of
 GRANDPA's TRUCK BLOCK
 from page 63 of the book:)


Now he can join 
WOOLLY SHEEP and HAPPY HORSE 
in the parade of 
"farm animals in the back of a truck"
if you missed the tutorial 
on how I did this.


I'll keep adding to my truck parade 
and show you more as I make progress:)



My design wall is filling up quickly
 with my Farm Girl Vintage projects...
I'm having so much fun that 
I don't want to stop!

I hope that you are having fun
 with this sew along as well:)

I'll be right back here 
next week with two more blocks!
