2 blocks.............

I sewed a second 
block last night.  I sewed the triangle sections for the next 2 blocks too.




I finished the tractor block and added a few of the other blocks to the design wall so you can see the size of the block in comparison.  It still needs hand embroidery of the steering wheel.  Several other blocks are waiting for hand embroidery too so I'll probably do them all at the same time. 

Yesterday was another beautiful fall day.  I trimmed the last Goldmound Spirea and then decided to mow the grass.  I knew I wouldn't be able to do it today because I have sewing circle at church this afternoon.  Last night I cut out some preemie layettes for our project.

Those are some wild blocks for sure! The Farm Girl blocks look terrific, but they look time consuming.

The X blocks are looking great! The tractor turned out really good too.

Your tractor block looks great with the others. I like the fabric choices for your newest block.

I love the Farm House blocks, I'm wondering where the embroidery will be like, it will be a interesting quilt when finished. We also had the most beautiful day yesterday, hoping there are more like it this week.

I was looking forward to seeing that fabric in the top left x. It is really interesting and love it in the block.

I like the colors in your Farm blocks... very bright and cheerful. The X blocks are going to be an interesting mix!!! We have had some breezy days down here.... fall is certainly showing her skirts!

I know you are making some more blocks but those farm quilt blocks you are showing would make a really cute wall hanging if you shopped right now! I know you already mentioned it, but what pattern are you using for them?
