Farmer's Wife QAL Block 6, 7, and 8

It's back and in full swing. I reexamine the fabrics I was using. I don't have much of a stash to pull from for the blocks. It seemed like they were all over the place. So, I chose some Moda fabrics about a month ago. I remade the blocks I had. Now, here we are again!  If you have some Farmer's Wife blocks, link it up, at the bottom of this post. I would love to see them.

 

  Block 6 Big Dipper

 

 

Block 7 Birds in the Air

 

 

I made all my small squares first. Then, I started building from there.

 

I put all the little triangles. Then, start building each section.

 

 

 

Then, I get my four small squares.

Formed my rows.

 

 

 

              Block 8 Bouquet

 

I love this block!! It's my favorite one so far. Cute as can be, and the text fabric is awesome!

 

 

I made the left side of the flower. I started the right side here at the top right. I sewed those together.

I sewed on the top triangle here. Make sure that you know where you are going to sew. I accidentally sewed this on the wrong side. It wasn't much to take apart, but it happens.

                             Next, I took the orange and white print and sewed those together on each side.

 

I am sewing the diamond shapes together.

 Now, I am adding the base triangle. This will turn it into a square. This one is kind of heavy on the piecing.

 

 

 

 

Sewed my triangles into a square that were in the bottom right corner. Then, attached it to the rectangular side piece.

 

I sewed the bottom rectangle on first.

 That left the final seam on the right.

 

 

 

This is my fav block. If you made it this far. :) I love pics, and the book doesn't really show the piecing. I guess, you could figure it out on your own like I did, but pics are awesome!
