| Brynwood Needleworks - Farmer's Wife - Layout Two |
When I shared the layout for this sampler quilt a couple of days ago, my friend, Marrianne asked about the friendship blocks that some of my online friends had sent to me as a surprise. Of course, I still have them, and agree with her suggestion that I add them to my quilt.
As a result, I needed to do a little rearranging on my last layout, and this is what I came up with.

There are two more blocks that are about a 1/2" smaller, so they won't fit in the body of the quilt. However, I'm still going to make them a part of the finished design. I think I'll place them in one of the borders of the quilt, so they're still on the front.
These blocks were such a special gift from some of my friends, that I'm so happy Marrianne mentioned them to me. I thought I was saving them for their own creation, but I think being a part of this quilt is so much better! Thanks for the suggestion, my NZ friend!
I also think that adding these friendship blocks to the Farmer's Wife quilt, warrants a name change. I think I'm going to call the finished piece my "Farmer's Wife's Friends" quilt. Do you like it?
Great idea, & love the name.

I like the name. I have been a farm wife in north central Illinois for over 50 years. I see so much of what is in my horizon in this quilt. I have windmills and solar panels which I see i this quilt as well as birds migrating right now and fences in your quilt. Thanks for showing us. Quite a story in blocks
