It's a finish!
Farmer's Wife Samper
66 x 84
Most blocks can be found in the book Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt by Laurie Aaron Hird.
The actual Farmer's Wife Samper has 111 six inch finished blocks. I think I made about half of those blocks. In March 2023 I dug out the blocks and made a decision to do something with them. I decided to use an Hourglass as an alternate block. I counted my blocks and decided I needed a few more. I had belonged to a 30s Reproduction Yahoo Group that swapped blocks made in 30s repros so found a few six inch orphan blocks from previous swaps that would fit the theme.
And here we are in October 2026 and I finally have a finished top. This is one of my oldest UFOs. I quilted it on my sewing machine with horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines.
I added a scrappy binding.
And sew on...

Great choice for a finish, Cathy;))) Nice work hugs, Julierose
Fabulous quilt. My eye first sees a square in a square and then wanders to find squares with hourglass. Love the green!
Lovely quilt and a great way to use blocks just sitting around, waiting to be made into a quilt. Pefect for a lap quilt, happy stitching!
