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

Hello and welcome to the 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 Quilt Along

#FarmGirlFridays

Grab your book

Farm Girl Vintage 2

And your Farm Girl Vintage Fabric...

And let's make some Farm Girl Blocks!

Our first Farm Girl Block

 for this week is 

SCRAP QUILT 

on page 118 of the book.

I love this block and I named it 

Scrap Quilt because it's the perfect way

 to use up those leftover trimmings 

from Easy Corner Triangles:)

I learned from my grandma and her sisters

 how to use scraps to make 

something beautiful and amazing...

and that is a very valuable lesson

 that I have never forgotten.

This doll quilt is made from scraps

 and the pattern is on 

page 187 of the book.

I styled this photo with 

vintage storytelling books and an 

adorable pair of vintage baby shoes:)

I also made a 6" Scrap Quilt Block 

for my 6" Farm Girl Block Sampler Quilt.

I used one of the segments from the

 12" block cutting and made each

 half square triangle

 in a different print...

I used leftover scraps...YaY!

Our next Farm Girl Block is 

SEWING BASKETS 

on page 119 of the book.

This is a sweet traditional little

 basket block and I just had to 

add it into the book....

I mean look how adorable it is

 in this doll quilt!

The pattern for this sweet

 little quilt is on page 188.

I chose to do this quilt in 

red and pinks...

because I LOVE that color combo

 and it goes perfect with this 

"queen of sewing" themed rag doll!

I also made this one in a

 6" size for my

 6" Farm Girl Block Sampler Quilt.

I again made this one scrappy happy:)

I have been out of town and so 

I didn't have time to make a

 6" Quilting Day Block last week...

but I whipped one up this week!

It's for my sampler quilt too.

That means that I have

 added three more blocks...

And now with the addition of

 these three I have made seven so far.

Okay...before we go I want to 

talk a little more about the 

doll quilts in the book.

I have had someone ask me

 how to make the blocks into 3" size

 that are used for the doll quilts.

This is explained in the book 

but I thought I would show you a visual.

So here is a 12" Block and a 6" Block.

You can see that the 6" is 1/4 size of the 12".

In other words...the 12" Block is made up of four 6" units that are simply sewn together.

That means that when you make a unit

 from the 6" block cutting...

 you will get 1/4 size of a 

6" block which is...of course 3"

Those 3" units are what you use

 to make the doll quilts.

I designed 8 blocks for the book

 that consist of four blocks sewn together.

I used those 8 blocks 

to make the 8 doll quilts.

You DO NOT have to figure out 

the measurements for yourself. 

They are in the book:

When making a 3" unit...

 use the 6" block cutting and instead

 of sewing the four units together 

to form a 6" block...

keep them separate to make a doll quilt.

Make as many 3" units that

 you need to make the 

small, medium or large doll quilts.

Here are all eight of the doll quilts...

each on a vintage doll bed. 

All of these patterns are on pages 

186 thru 191 in the book.

I hope this helps anyone else 

that may have needed clarification.

Thank you once again for 

joining me on the farm today...

let's meet up back here next week 

for two more Farm Girl Blocks!
