Farmers Wife Quilt 2015 Instalment 1

I've been slowly working on my English Paper Piecing (EPP) Farmers Wife  Daughter Quilt and have managed to complete a few blocks.

Beware there are quite a few photos here:

 The beginning of January started well, not yet back at work, the air con turned up and the cricket on the TV - plenty of time for stitching!

 Some of the colours on  here don't look quite as bright as they do 'in the flesh' - I'll have to try and perfect the photography.

I choose the fabrics, bag about five blocks at a time and then work through them.  As I baste and start sewing some blocks I find I am not as happy with the choices, then when it's finished they seem to come together.  But I am going with the overall approach - together as a whole they will look great, I don't have to LOVE every block individually as long as I am happy with the quilt as a whole.

Here you can see a progress image, still a way to go, but I am enjoying the process.
