Farm Girl Vintage Sampler - first 19 blocks

After finishing up my Farm Girl Fun Sampler for display at Jackman's Fabrics (I'll show it to you later this week), I still had the Farm Girl bug.  I asked Laura if she would like me to work up the block sampler from the book as well...and she said YES!  This should cure my bug...making one of every block in the book (tiny pieces worked up into 6" blocks)!  So far, I'm loving it!

Patterns in Lori Holt's book, Farm Girl Vintage.

Here's what's up on my design wall today...

Pinwheel (blocks on design wall)

These are my blocks for my version of "Pinwheel" by Pat Speth.  Remember my "Labor Day Madness" quilt?  Well, these two quilts can be made from the same charm packs (Pat calls them "nickels" aka 5" squares).  When creating units, you get a left side unit and a right side (bonus) unit.  Only one side gets used for "Labor Day Madness" and the units remaining can get used for "Pinwheel."  It's like make one get one free!!!

Anyway, I wasn't too keen on having 2 quilts from the same set of charm fabrics, so my friend, Debbie, and I decided to swap the leftover bonus units.  Our color schemes and fabrics could not be any more different - just what I was hoping!  Mine choice was "Lucy's Crab Shack" and "Reunion" by Moda - very bright, modern-ish, quirky and fun.  These are mostly from Holly Taylor's "Enchanted Pond" line - much more dark, serious, soft and comfortable.  I love both...I guess I just love fabric!!!

Design Wall Monday - 8/10

Here's what's taking shape on my design wall today...

These are blocks from Lori Holt's book, Farm Girl Vintage.  This layout began with an inspiration piece by jabeybaby I found on Instagram.  I'm adding to it and working on designing a simple quilt for display at Jackman's Fabrics.
