I've been trying to keep up with my Farm Girl Vintage blocks.
When I make the 6" block, I try to use mostly Lori Holt fabrics.
This is a 6" Old Red Barn block.
Old Glory, I made one in both 6" and 12" sizes, but as you can see, I didn't use Lori's fabrics, there weren't really enough blues in the shades that I wanted.
Both blocks are really similar, but they'll be in separate quilts, so it really doesn't matter :)

I love the brilliance of the aqua fabric, and I also love pink and orange together!
I'm really proud of her little pink beak too :)
This is a 6" block.
You can tell, because I used most of Lori's fabrics.

I'm not crazy about sewing 6" blocks though, because they are more difficult, with all the little pieces.
I love the Milking Day block, I think it's the first one I made out of the book.
My daughter belongs to a milking coop.
Fourteen people have a share in a cow (her name is Patience) and each of them has a designated morning or evening to milk it every week.
There's a photo of me milking Patience here.

A genuine milking can is pretty expensive too!
My daughter now has chickens....
...and goats for milking.
I'm going to make her one of the Farm Girl Vintage quilts, I think she'll appreciate it :)
By the way, that's Maisie, aka Queen Elsa, who I made the dress for in last week's blog.
