Yes, Denyse and the Farmer are back in my life!
It has been a "Whirlwind" of a relationship.....
but it is officially Autumn here in Australia, so soon the "Maple Leaf" will start to
fall!
While I was looking for my mojo recently I did take out all my FW blocks and
decide on the fabric I wanted to buy to sash them.
I only bought 20cm of this spotted fabric...
to see how it looked!
And I love it!
But when I went back today to buy three metres....
they didn't have it!!!!
This was the best I could do...
in fact the sales girl had cut the fabric before I realised it was WRONG!
I'm going to piece a few blocks and then decide!
This love affair has hit a serious cross roads....
Will there be a happy ending?
Happy sewing!
(I hope!)

I love your FW blocks Suz! And I LOVE polka dots, they look great with the fabrics. I'm in the middle of a Swoon with polka dots as the background fabric. I sure hope this story has a happy ending, as I can't wait to see the finished product. :o)
ReplyDeleteI bet it will work out for the best...you'll love the new fabric even better! :) Hope so! Your blocks look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI am betting on a happy ending! What is the fabric you are looking for? Who knows perhaps it is in our little shoppe in Ohio :) Love the Farmers Wife blocks!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding your spots. Nothing more frustrating than finding the right one then going back to find it gone!!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for a happy ending!! You know I love your FW blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteHow annoying. You will sort it, your blocks are all so lovely they deserve to be perfect xxx
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look lovely and I am sure they will be lovely with the new fabric as well as the old. good luck
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks Susan and I am a romatic at heart so very much hoping for a happy ending. Take care.
ReplyDeleteaw man what a pain! Love the original blocks you made but you will make more wonderful blocks no doubt with the new dots have you sourced them anywhere else?
ReplyDeleteI have been pining for the FW blocks lately, time for me to get them out again. I think that a lovely spotted fabric will always be good for a quilt back or something, if you want to search for your most perfect one, which is great by the way.
ReplyDeleteIt is annoying when that happens. It's like you think great that's it. Then you order it and it's something completely different.
ReplyDeleteI had to look twice for a difference. I'm with jamie-lee - usually these things have a habit of turning out for the better & I bet you'll start loving it more. Here's hoping :)
ReplyDeleteooh I cannot wait hurry up!!!
ReplyDeleteThere has to be a happy ending!!
ReplyDeleteThey all look fab and I ADORE the dots, so cute!
I'm sure that fabric will look just as good :)
Argh! Don't you hate it when that happens? You can always stash it and try again if you don't like it. One day it will come into it's own!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute post! I hope the lovebirds have a long and happy life.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the saga and the visuals. The blocks are looking really nice. Now, what to do with the background fabric? Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks you are making. Shame about the spot! Hope it has a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks
