Farm Girlish Vintage Completed!!

I have posted several times back in the summer and fall about working on my Farm Girl Vintage Sew-A-Long blocks.  


I had them all completed back in late September, but they've been taking up space on my design wall until recently.


I enjoyed making the many blocks and feel I really improved my piecing skills doing these 43 fun blocks.


I did not have the small prints needed for these blocks, so over time, I bought lots of these prints... lots of which I still have quite a bit of... so am looking for some new projects to use them in...  any ideas?


I used the design layout in Lori's book, but made my outer border 3" smaller.


I love the look of the sashing and multi colored cornerstones... although sashing tends to be a pain to do...but they do keep your rows and columns straight!


And although making all those little red flying geese took FOREVER, they really do look perfect as an inner border.


My dear friend Patty, has a long arm business and she quilted it for me using an awesome chicken wire design!!  It really made it all come together perfectly!


I made Lori's cute cow block for my label.  I love how it turned out, too!!


I am BEYOND GLAD it is all off my design wall and finished!!  Yay!  Yeehaw!!


Yogi is glad our blizzard snow is mostly melted so he can smell the grass again!!
