Farmers Wife Sampler blocks for this week are complete. Practical Orchard is a really strange name for a quilt block. I don't see anything about this block that would suggest such a name. I did a little research and found on a heritage quilt site that it was a variation of Fiddlers Jig, which has HST in those outer corners. But I can't guarantee that info is accurate.
Postage Stamp was the other block for this week - made from 36 little 1.5" squares. Hence the Postage Stamp name.
It was also time to work on the little signature blocks that our Simple Whatnots group plans to exchange in February. I have had them all cut out for a couple of months, but had only sewn 4 of them up to now. These are only 4.5" square so shouldn't take long to finish up.
pretty blocks.
