Blocks 15, 16 & 17 (Farmhouse, Feed & Seed and Pears) - Farm Girl Vintage Quilt & Featherweight Shop Sew Along

January 2019, Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along
We are very excited to be starting 2019 with the continuation of our Featherweight Shop's Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along! If you're just now joining us, welcome! We began the sew along in 2018 doing one block at a time so that new quilters could learn before we picked up speed. So, you'll have plenty of time to catch up and finish by the end of this year along with us. Simply jump in now at Blocks 15, 16 & 17 with our featured blocks for January: Farmhouse, Feed and Seed, and Fresh Pears, and then fill in with the other earlier blocks as you can! You can do it!
When we started the sew along last year on our Featherweights, little did we know that Lori Holt was working hard behind the scenes to create a darling Farm Girl Vintage fabric line for Riley Blake Designs... We couldn't have been more surprised and pleased with the timing! As such, we decided to include "Farm Girl Vintage" fabrics in our new fabric category, even creating a quilt kit for those of you who want all the lovely fabrics to begin your Farm Girl Vintage quilt.
Grab your book, some fabric, get it prepared and cut, and let's enjoy some more Featherweight sewing!
Complete your blocks following along with the pattern, paying attention to a couple of tips in the photos below. Make sure to press your block seams open (when you can), being careful to be as exact with your cutting and alignments as possible.

Until next month's Featherweight Farm Girl Vintage Quilt Sew Along...
NOTE: Now that we are in the swing of things and becoming more familiar with Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage quilt block style, we will continue sewing three blocks per month. Thus, on February 28th, 2019, we will feature Block 18 Furrows, Block 19 Gingham, and Block 20 Grandma's Quilt. Pace yourself and maybe do one block a week, then check back in next month, knowing we've been working on these together!
