I got so distracted last week working on getting caught up on some BOM blocks, that I forgot to show you that I finished my Farmer's Wife Quilt!
Yay! A finish!
This really was a fun Quilt Along to be part of this last year.
I enjoyed making the blocks from my scrap pile, and increased in learning some new quilting techniques.
For the border fabric I decided to use the same fabric as the sashing.
The solid colors allow the bright and busy blocks to do all the talking.
Finished size 61" X 70"
which also fit very nicely over a picnic table.
My thanks:) to Angela (Fussy Cut) and
Amanda (Hey Pork Chop!) for hosting this wonderful
Quilt Along!

Wow! Congratulations. This looks beautiful. I am very impressed that you got this finished.
It's one of the prettiest Farmer's Wife quilts I've seen. I love the restful grey for the sashing. It perfectly ties everything together. Great job!
It's so beautiful Nedra! I love it! I'm planning on making a few more blocks this week!
Hey, it looks really great all together. I really like the sashing color you went with.
Good finish! bet you are glad you went for a smaller size or you would still be working on it - I'm glad I did mine smaller as well.

Oh, Nedra - Your quilt is wonderful!! What a happy dance you must be doing!! Congratulations!! Kris
I love the way it turned out, it is really beautiful! Congratulations on getting it finished. I am impressed that you have so much stash fabric :) Mine is on the back burner for now....
It is a great accomplishment to finish a quilt from the Farmer's Wife Blocks. Congrats! I love it!
Oh Nedra, it is beautiful! Don't you dare put it on a table! It might get a mustard stain!!
I think you are spot on with the sashing and border. The plain color ties it together and makes it all work. Nice nice job.
