next on the agenda [the farmer's wife QAL]

If you follow along, you know how much I like to start new projects.  I will admit that sometimes most of the time I jump around from project to project like it is going out of style.  So, I had convinced myself I was going to focus on some WiPs and not start any new projects.  Well you all know how long that lasted--about 2 hours.  

I just couldn't say no to a new QAL when I came across The Farmer's Wife QAL led by Angela from Fussy Cut and Amanda from Ms McPorkchop Quilts.  My reasons--other than the fact it is being led by two fabulous quilty bloggers--you may ask.
  A. I already had access to a copy of the book. Thanks mom!
  B. It only requires finishing 2 - 6.5" x 6.5" blocks (out of 111) a week.  Totally manageable.
  and, C. Because the blocks are so small, it is the perfect stash buster.  

It's a win-win situation really! :)

The blocks are all made out of printable templates that come along with the book.  But because I was so excited to get started, I jumped around and choose two that I could do with a little math.

Since this is a sampler quilt and I will be using scraps for most of it, I have decided to stick with Kona White as the background for each block to add some "order" to the blocks.
