Haystack, Kettle's On, and Kitchen Window Blocks

Here we go, with some more finished blocks

from the Farm Girl Vintage sew along!

The first one I'm showing today was fun and easy to make:

Haystack.

{I think it's constructed just like the traditional block called Courthouse Steps.}

I chose all my prints with similar values,

but the center block is actually a bit lighter than the others.

I really love those tiny spatulas in that fabric!

The next block in Farm Girl Vintage is called Kettle's On!

I love my tea every morning,

so I looked forward to stitching this pretty block.

It was fun to make a yellow spout and lid,

topped off with a little red knob. I love the aqua kettle, too.

Next up was the block called Kitchen Window.

I've been using navy fabric as a "zinger"

for my blocks, so I used the dark fabric for my window frame.

The fabrics in the "window" glow like it's nighttime.

I'm really having fun blending all my 30's style prints,

to make some fresh new blocks with a vintage vibe.

Be sure to come back soon and often, to see more!

More Farm Girl Vintage Blocks...Canning Season, Chicken Foot and Churn Dash

I've been busy trying to catch up with the

Farm Girl Vintage sew along...

and I'm starting to accumulate

lots of pretty blocks.

I had really been looking forward to capturing

some sweet strawberries

in the Canning Season block.

I picked my berry fabrics and cut my pieces out ahead of time.

Later, when there was a bit of time for sewing,

the block went together quickly.

I took a glamour shot with my Pyrex bowls

and my mini design board.

{I LOVE my gingham lids.}

Next up was the Chicken Foot block.

I think I've seen this block around,

but I never gave it much credit...

what a charming design,

especially when some favorite fabrics are used!

The "positive/negative" effect was fun, and

I was really pleased with my sharp HST's.

With the stitching method used in this block

there was no need to oversize and trim!

Then it was time for a Churn Dash block...

always one of my most favorite quilt blocks!

I chose a fresh navy, yellow and blue palette for mine.

I think this block is one of the best designs ever...

so simple and pretty...great for a beginner to make.

Soon this pretty block was born.

I love the bright 30's style prints I'm using...

mostly Fresh Air by American Jane,

with some Bake Sale by Lori Holt,

assorted polka dots,

and a dash of 30's Playtime Favorites 

by Chloe's Closet.

{I REALLY LOVE that one in the upper right corner...Betty's Green.}

Stop by again soon, for more Farm Girl Vintage fun!
