Scrap Basket Sunday

I love to use up my scraps and I have a ton of them! As a new quilting blog follower, I have admired many of the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilts. But, I am not a fan of templates, so I certainly did not want to make the blocks by using the templates. This has led me to Lori Holt's block tutorials and to use http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/501-rotary-cut-quilt-blocks-judy-hopkins/1012272635?ean=.

I have been following Kim's Big Quilting Adventure and wanted to participate in her Scrap Basket Sunday. Here are the blocks I made today.

    I am so checking out that link! A few months ago I purchased the Farmers Wife book,but am not a fan of templates,so it sits on my book shelf...

    Your blocks are very pretty.

      Hi CeLynn,

      The Judy Hopkins book is so worth it! I don't plan on making all the 100+ block from the Farmer's Wife Sampler. I am only thinking around 50. Be sure and look at Lori Holt's Bee in My Bonet because her tutorial blocks and blocks in her Barn Along are all 6 inch blocks that could be put in the Farmer's Wife Sampler. I am trying to use up my scraps, but not look too country. Thanks for stopping by!

    Ooooooh! Pretty blocks! Are you going to work on the Farmer's Wife type blocks each week? I'll look forward to seeing what develops!
