Farmers Wife Friday - The Two New and a Re-Do Edition

Hello Friday!

I'm back to "farming" this week, with two new blocks to show you, and a re-do of a "without white" block. The temperature outside is a blistering 39 degrees, so it's lovely to be sitting in the cool airconditioning, mucking about with fabric today :)

First up, we have Block 47, Homemaker...

...this one had me stumped for a bit, until I read the instructions in fine print at the bottom of the diagram. When in doubt, look for instructions :)

Block number 37 is called Flower Pot...

...and it was so out of square when I finished that I considered remaking it, but went with trimming off the sides instead. I may live to regret that decision when it comes to putting the blocks together :)

When I first decided to "add white" to each block, I envisaged myself just remaking the blocks from scratch. It's becoming apparent, now that I am finishing off a few more blocks and am almost halway to a queen size quilt, that I may run short of Rose Parade fabrics some time in the future. After all, I'm only using a jelly roll of that particular fabric combined with white and spots :)

So I'm going with the more fabric-frugal option and adding just a little bit of white to the existing blocks. What do you think? Can I get away with it?

Have a great Friday...and if you are in Perth...KEEP COOL!
