Farmer's Wife Blocks 11 & 12

I think i'm back on track with my Farmer's Wife Blocks

never mind the tape on the block.....

 Block 11 - Broken Dishes

Block 12 - Broken Sugar Bowl

Farmer's Wife Blocks 9 & 10

 #9 Box

# 10 Bowtie

Farmer's Wife Blocks 7 & 8

i had trouble with both of these blocks

but, i'm not sweating it

if they looked perfect y'all would know it wasn't my work

so, i'll leave them as is

☺

 this is # 8 Bouquet

i had trouble with the pink flower points matching up

#7 Birds in the air

birds flying in the air look much better than this block

but, there again; it is what it is.......

Farmer's Wife Blocks 5 & 6

I'm really liking the preciseness of paper piecing.

below are the latest 2 blocks I've finished......

6 Big Dipper

5 Bat Wing
I did get a bit of the selvage edge on this one, but i'm sure the 1/4" will cover it when assembled

not sure how much i'll get done this weekend as i'm
getting that special little boy tomorrow, he's all mine

Farmer's Wife Block 4

I had planned to go in order, to make these in order as they are in the book.

Well, I skipped 3, cause it had a curve in it.

Here's block 4-Basket Weave

again, this block was paper pieced

I took a tip from a friend and kept the paper on all pieces, 

then sewed the whole block together

i think that helped a lot

I also think I'll keep the paper on till I get ready to assemble the quilt

Farmer's Wife Blocks 1 & 2

Block on the left (it's a bit wonky and I'm not sure why)

left-#2 Autumn Tints

right-#1 Attic Windows

I'm finding the paper pieced blocks are in 3-4 pieces, then you have to join them to make the complete block.  I'm not fond of that at all.  I wish it was all one paper pieced block.  Do these exist?  Does anyone know?

Attic Windows was one complete block, Autumn Tints was in 4 parts, I guess that's how I got it wonky.
