For the past year, quilting bloggers all over the internet have been making blocks based on a book called "The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt."
The blocks are interesting, and range from very simple to a bit more complex. Everywhere I looked, people were posting pictures of their blocks.
So about a year ago I bought the book. I was going to get in on this!
Life and other quilts got in the way. But I made a Pinterest board of some of the cool blocks and helpful tips. I started thinking about what fabrics I wanted to use.
Time passed.
More time passed. The bandwagon continued to fill with Farmer's Wife quilts everywhere. I thought I'd catch up.
Guess what? The quilt-along is finishing. All 111 blocks. There is no more hope of catching up. Therefore, it seemed like a good time to start. No pressure, right?
So here, better late than never, are my first few blocks. I was too impatient to print out all the templates required so I just did the math in my head to cut the pieces the right size.

I tend to find out about quiltalongs because I read a blog post by someone who is in the midst of one. Then it's too late for me to join in. (Or I have a dozen other projects underway.)
You could call your hot pink FW "Hot Flashes"!
I usually miss bandwagons too. I think you should definitely make it your jubilee quilt.
Love the hot pink! Love the name of this quilt! I did those finicky Jane blocks and I felt like I was in a mid life crisis-hot flushes and all.
