Farmer' Wife blocks

I enjoyed sewing these blocks together yesterday but can see a couple that will have to be tweeked a bit lol.  I think it is because they are such tiny pieces and i have finger pressed them rather than use the iron.  I think I should go back to ironing them.  Mind you the photo editing I tried doesn't help with a few of them lol.  They have been cut out for quite some time ie before flooring was done so it was nice to just sit and sew at the machine for a couple of hours.  I might even get some more done today, fingers crossed, so that I can start cutting some more out.  But after a frost it looks like it is going to be a lovely spring day so might just end up out in the garden instead.

Those are miniscule pieces you are working with No tweaking required.
No sunshine here lucky I have knitting to keep me busy.

Wow that is a good result for a day's sewing and they all look so good...we have sunshine here and so far no rain, hope you've had the same and you got to get some of that gardening in...

What beautiful blocks Katherine, and lovely colours. We had quite a frost here too on Sunday morning, something we've come to expect these days. Wheat farmers will be watching to see if there was damage to emerging heads. Take care.

Your blocks are looking lovely. I suppose one thing with the fiddly small pieces is, it's a good way to use up scraps. I've decided that we need a patchwork picnic blanket, just need to steal some time from somewhere!
