It makes it easier for me to keep things straight in my mind as I sew.
# 74 Ribbons
#39 Friendship
A simple process where a smaller square is sewn to each side of a larger square or rectangle.
Understanding how to draft these is so much fun!
I can't thank Lori Holt enough for showing us her wonderful tutorials on drafting.
I now have 28 Farmer's Wife blocks up on my design wall.
Don't they just look so happy playing together?
Eventually these will all be set on point with sashing in between. I need to start thinking about what fabric will help each one stand out.

Gorgeous, gorgeous blocks Nedra. Your color is my favourite choice. Enjoy Nat
They're wonderful...I love doing the drafting too since Lori got me going. I need to figure out the Friendship one.
love the color choices. I think the color choices in the book are way too dark! I am going to put white sashing around mine to lighten up more, mine are colorful but I haven't used white.

Very nice Nedra! That project is really coming along. I love this new block you are showing here. I might have to keep that in mind for a future quilt!
