I'm back in the sewing saddle! I was able to clear off my design wall and put the Farm Girl Vintage blocks back up there. Looking good! I guess my little sewing break was longer than I thought - the sew along is over now and I'm still 12 blocks short. There are 45 in the sampler, and it looks like I have 33 finished. This weekend I decided to go out of order to ease back into sewing. I made the Simple Star block below. Now I have some design decisions to make. For example, I need to decide if I am going to make the Strawberry block pink like it is in the book, or red. Pink would balance out the colors in the quilt more, but I am not sure if I have enough different pinks to make a whole strawberry block. I have lots of red fabrics, but there is a lot of red in the quilt already. We'll see how it turns out...
I did also make a sunflower block for my husband. He has a variety of little quilts I've made him in his cubicle at work, but wanted something to represent summer. He chose this block from the book a while ago and I've finally put it together. Now to trim the edges, do some light quilting and then bind. This is a 6" block.

Your Farm Girl is adorable.
Your quilt is wonderful. I think you'd be fine going with reds! It's really lovely.
