I finally figured out what to do with these farmer's wife blocks. I used the "Square Dance quilt setting" pattern from Farm Girl vintage.
9 - 9"blocks
4" squares set in red....
and some red check for sashing...
"feed and seed " block
love the star quilted into the red polka dot here...
basket...
Here, you can see the machine quilting in the sashing. I love this twist...
feathered circle
another 9" square quilting...
Looks like Picnic time to me!!
