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

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 

STRAWBERRY JAM 

on page 127 of the book.

I just love this block...

and I designed it with a few possibilities

 in mind besides just the sampler quilt:)

One thing is...

I think it's the sweetest block

 for a pillow.

I'm going to make this very block 

into one and put it on the

 bench in my kitchen:)

Speaking of my kitchen...

here is another look at the 

kitchen quilt that I made using the

 Small Mix and Match pattern

 on page 156 of the book.

I love making projects both 

large and small to decorate my kitchen 

in my farmhouse cottage style.

The kitchen is the heart of the home!!

I've been showing you the new 

kitchen quilt that I'm making with the

 12" Farm Girl Blocks...

And this week I made another block to add.

SCRAPPY STRAWBERRY

is on page in the first book

FARM GIRL VINTAGE

I think its going to be a cute block to add!

I used several pinks and corals and 

greens from my fabric collections.

By the way...

this is my Scrappy Strawberry Blocks 

in both red and pinks.

It's made into a quilt using the 

County Fair setting 

on page 112 of the first book.

Sew sweet!

Okay...

back to the other idea

 that I had for my Strawberry Jam Block.

I made this strawberry from

 the label on the jar.

When you make just the strawberry

 from the 12" Block it is a 6" block.

YaY!

I added 1 1/2" strips for the borders.

Then I made 3 more!!

I see a new strawberry quilt in my future!!

*Notice that when I added the borders 

I added the sides first 

(cut 1 1/2" x 6 1/2")

 on two of the blocks...

 and the top and bottom borders

 first on the other two.

Then I added the final borders 

on all four blocks

 (cut 1 1/2" x 8 1/2")

The reason that I did this is so that

 when the blocks are sewn together

 it adds an interesting design 

in the aqua scrappy strips that 

become the sashing for the quilt:)

Our next Farm Girl Block is 

TENDING THE GARDEN

on page 131 of the book.

I styled this after the many vintage

 watering cans that I collect and use:)

I made another 12" block

from different Farm Girl prints...

And added it to my 

BUSY BEE FLOWER FARM QUILT

The pattern for this quilt

 is on page 144 of the book.

You can customize your own quilt

 to match your own farm:)

YeeHaw!!

Well that's it for this week quilty peeps...

thanks so much for joining me on the farm!

I'll be right back here next week:)
