How did your first week go? Did you get your blocks completed? Be sure and post pictures of your blocks and share where you are finding your patterns. Are you using the Farmer's Wife books? If so, are you using the templates in the back of the book or do you have something else you are using? Do you have another source you are using for the patterns?
I am still working on my second block. I was so caught up in getting my Sleeping Beauty quilt done, that I put off doing my blocks for the Quilt Along. I have the first block done and the second one cut. I will get my blocks posted as soon as I get them done. I realized that I need to get much more organized. I thought it would be simple to sit down and sew two blocks together. NOT!!! It takes come thought and getting all the patterns together. My goal is week is to collect the patterns for multiple weeks and get them laid out. A few posts back, I shared about cutting multiple blocks at a time and laying them out on paper plates. I need to follow my advice.
Happy Second Week Quilt Along!!! Remember it is block #2 and a star block. The star block can be as detailed as you want. There are some beautiful star blocks to use. Please post any helpful hints and ideas in doing these blocks.
I've posted links to other Farmer's Wife Quilt Blogs so you can use them for additional support or information. One shows using templates and the other shows using the templates from the disk in the book. This is the method I am planning to use. I really don't want to buy additional templates. Don't feel that because the information is posted here, that you have to go buy the additional templates.
