I am finally going to make something for me. Instead of working on the Kansas Troubles blocks, I decided to pull out a UFO. Daughter #1 bought me the Farmer’s Wife book for Christmas 2 years ago. I never intended to make all the blocks. I want to hang this in my front hall and that would be way to big. I made 62 blocks and stopped there. Sure wish I could remember how I was going to lay it out!
I do know that I am going to use sashing and cornerstones. Trying to decide between 1″ finished and 1 1/2″ finished sashing.
I am leaning toward the narrower sashing. What do you think?

I covet this. I need to make one too. I love making sample blocks and I don’t have this pattern. You’re are so pretty.
Narrower. I actually finished all 111 blocks. My quilt top is done. I’m putting 1/3 of the blocks on the back, and then off to someone else to quilt it. I can’t believe it is still folded up in a pile of other quilt tops…
Great blocks! I’d go with the narrow sashing, too.
I like the narrow. Your quilt is going to be gorgeous! I wish I lived near you, I would just love to visit. You get so much done you inspire me to do more. Thanks.
Narrow…..
I’m with you. Narrow looks best.
I like the narrow. It’s lovely!
Narrow sashing. It looks great!
Definitely the narrow sashing. I like it better than the alternate block setting. They are gorgeous!
