ScrapHappy March 2024: Revisting Farm Girl Vintage

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

It’s the 15th of the month and time for my monthly “ScrapHappy” post as part of the ScrapHappy group I belong. At the end of this post I have a link to the other blogs participating in this monthly event in case you’d like to check out their ScrapHappy posts.

For this month’s post I decided to revisit an old UFO (unfinished object) in my stash that I started at a quilt retreat years ago in 2017 (see post Farm Girl Vintage, Part I) – a scrappy sampler quilt (using fabric scraps and my fat quarter stash) made with blocks from Lori Holt’s book Farm Girl Vintage.

I pulled out the bag of scraps for the project:

And I pulled out the 19 blocks I had completed:

Here are close ups of some of the 19 blocks I pieced:

I think before I moved to Colorado 5 years ago, I was starting to work on finishing this quilt by making additional blocks and then selecting the setting for the sampler blocks. I also discovered some partially pieced block section with the 19 blocks:

I’ve decided to put this UFO in queue to work on next when I finish the two current quilts I am working on.

  5. This one really deserves to be finished, I think, especially as it’s a good scrappy project. It’s always so satisfying to see ‘something from nothing’. Do please share your progress on it with ScrapHappy posts.

  11. The country girl in me loves this, especially the corn and apple square. Brings back memories of our home being flanked each August by fields of 6 foot tall corn and helping my Dad pick apples in his mini-orchard. Nothing beats the smell of homemade applesauce.
