Farmer's Wife Quilt-a-Long - wk 1

I came across the blog, msmcporkchopquilts, a little while ago and found out that she was co-hosting a quilt-a-long using The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt book.  This is my sort of quilt along as she is doing 2 blocks a week and they are not in the same order as her co-host.  That gives me complete freedom to quilt what I want to!  I have started a little behind, so the first several weeks will happen very quickly.  I let my 4 yo son pick my first several blocks.  He thinks this is really cool and I am relishing every minute of that!  Without further ado, here are my first two blocks!!!

#2   Autumn Tints
All I can tell you about the fabric is the solid orange is from IKEA, the rest are scraps that I inherited.

#71   Puss in the Corner
Again, I don't know anything about the fabrics, as they were not purchased by me. 


~ the numbers listed above are the number of the quilt block in the book~
