I've tried to challenge myself a bit this week as regards to the Farmer's Wife Quilt. When selecting blocks to make I tend to play safe - mainly choosing blocks that I either like the most or I know I will be able to make! This week I decided to go for blocks that scare me a little - those ones with lots of little pieces. I chose 'Hovering Birds' and 'Whirlpool'. The success rate was 50 % - 'Hovering Birds' was completed, 'Whirlpool' was abandoned!
Hovering Birds
As 'Whirlpool' remains in little bits on my sewing table, and to keep up with the two blocks a week demand, I chose another block to make:
Windmill
A far more straightforward block!! I think I will try and make one out of the two weekly blocks a more difficult one thus avoiding being landed with all the technically challenging ones at the end!
