Farm Babies

Even with all the crazy stuff going on around here, I did manage to finish a quilt top this week!
It only took me about two hours including ironing the fabric, cutting, sewing and pressing all the seams.  And while I was cutting the fabric, I also cut enough to make a second quilt.  I have been awaiting two babies that were due five days apart, one has arrived and one is past the due date!  This quilt will be for the overdue baby...hopefully the baby arrives soon...

If you want to make one of your own...
You will need...
18-6.5"  squares
4-1.5" WOF strips
2-10.5"  WOF strips focus fabric
All seam allowances are 1/4"


  • Sew three rows of six squares
  • Sew a 1.5" strip to the bottom of the first row of squares
  • Sew a 1.5" strip to the top and bottom of the second row of squares
  • Sew a 1.5" strip to the top of the third row of squares
  • Trim and press the strips
  •  Add the strips of focus fabric to the second row of squares
  • Trim and press
  • Add the top and bottom row of squares
  • And you're all done!

Measures approximately 36.5" X 43" when finished
