Oh Dear Farmer

 
Farmer's Wife Quilt
 
 
To my Dearest Farmer,
It has taken me 17 months to get you from
this beautiful pile of fabric and templates
to where we are today :o)



 
At this stage I hurt my back :(

 
Which meant enlisting help from the kids to pick up and place blocks for me.
 
 
It also explains the crappy photos as no one was home and I couldn't get the
quilt hung/draped properly thus the puckering with the border due to the weight.

 
Final size is 78" square and it's made with 61 blocks.
It is now off to be hung in the WIR until I get around to quilting it.
 
Hugs, Sharon

    Mine has come to a complete and utter full stop. I'm so uninspired to work on it right now, it may become a table topper at this stage!!
