And remember that Farmers have to work hard and wait a long time to see the fruits of their labor! And sometimes there is a drought period... <br />Bravo to you.

That layout with all of them is just awe-inspiring to me, and I'm a 30year veteran quilter ! You will be so tickled that you tackled and FINISHED this project. There are lots of quicky quilts, and they're a blast to do, but they don't stay with you like a project like this. And the more different blocks you do, the more they all seem to work together. <br /><br />Great job........keep going at whatever speed feels good to you.

I am completely daunted by the thought of the Farmer's project. You are a LEGEND for attempting it and from the looks of your work to date you are making a fine effort. You're an INSPIRATION.
