Farmer's Wife Quilt - FINISHED

My Farmer's Wife Quilt is finished - after two years of intermittent hard work - 111 blocks, all hand-pieced and hand quilted, a true labour of love.   Yes, I am very happy it's finished and very happy with my quilt.   More photos will follow.

Kaffe Fassett quilt

I chose the pattern for this quilt from Kaffe Fassett's book - Simple Shapes, Spectacular Quilts.  It is really quite quick and easy to make.   I chose  Kaffe Fassett fabric with the larger motifs for the diamonds themselves and then chose fabric with smaller motifs for the sashing around each diamond.  The colours are stunning as you can see.   I love the fabric - it is not only stunning but beautiful quality.


As for my Farmer's Wife quilt - one block at a time - I am now up to block 70 - just need to upload the photos!
