Joining In...
...on the Farmers Wife! I've been reading blog posts about this, have seen pictures pop up on Flickr and can no longer resist. My first two blocks are below:
I'm using Ruby along with some Bliss. Both are by Bonnie and Camille. Throwing in a couple of solids (that bright blue is coming out) and other bits and pieces as I go along.

This is going to be a gorgeous quilt. Love the colors and the fabrics you've chosen. Your blocks are great. It will be fun watching your progress.
Beautiful blocks!!!! I love the fabrics, not even minding the blue~ This will be such a joyful journey for me to follow!!!
Still thinking about joining, since I love the fresh look of this group!
Your blocks are beautiful too! Great fabrics choice. I love Bonnie and Camille's fabric lines!
The blue goes to it perfectly.
Have a happy week.
Your first two blocks are very pretty! I love your combination of fabrics.
Welcome to the club! My Farmer's Wife quilt is going to be a very very long project. Just a filler between projects or when I want a change of pace. I think your fabric choice will make an amazing quilt. Great start, I look forward to seeing more blocks. It was Camille's FW blocks that pulled me in, they were just too cute to resist.
Love the fabrics you've chosen! Your first two blocks are lovely :)
very beautiful

A-dor-able! I am joining in on the FW as soon as I can print a pattern off :). Love your fabrics, nice job so crisp.
Oh, I'm so excited to see that you're starting this quilt. You will become addicted to this. And yes, it will be a long project, but so worth it in the end. I love your fabric selections! But why take out the bright blue? There are so many blocks in this thing that you will probably love it mixed in with all the rest!
Such fun colors, Jackie--I look forward to watching this project grow :)
Very nice - love the colors!
I really like your blocks. Did you join a group that is doing them?
Yesterday I took a class by Laurie Shifrin ,it was a Mango Tango quilt. What a neat curve piecing class.Take care. Hugs, Marie
It is going to look great! I love the fabrics you've chosen! Did you buy the Bliss recently, or is it something you have had in your stash? I've been looking for some, but haven't found it anywhere. I'm working on a project with Ruby right now. Your blocks look wonderful :-)
This is going to be lovely. I will be looking forward to your updates on this one.
I love your fabric choices. It's going to be stunning!
What fantastic colours!
OOh!! This is going to be one to watch! Wish I had the chops to join you!
I shall be watching this one very closely! Those fabrics are beautiful.
I'm like you that Farmers Wife thing has me inspired, but I have to much waiting for me to do to start at the moment. I love your fabric choices and will enjoy seeing your progress.
Wonderful fabrics! I have a charm pack of Ruby and just love it.
I so love The Farmer's Wife, Jackie - wish I had been in the loop when it all started - yours are just gorgeous!
Hugs - Lurline♥
Jackie, you are a girl after my heart!!!! I love that you are making the FW out of those fabrics. My favorites. I'm really going enjoy watching your progress. I can live vicariously!! :-)
This fabric is so pretty. It's going to be a beautiful quilt.
Aren't pretty stacks of fabric the best? You Farmer's Wife blocks are very sweet.
