Totally Addicting

I started my Farmer's Wife blocks last Sunday and it's so hard to stop! I'm actually glad I got in on the game a little late. It's been fun to play catch up. And I'm only half way there! So without further ado, here are my first two blocks:

I didn't have any trouble with these first two. I am finding that I love to use the templates. I know a lot of people are using paper piecing and "doing the math" to avoid the templates. But I actually enjoy cutting them out and having teeny tiny triangles that turn in to a beautiful square. Each one is like completing a mini quilt. It's totally fun. And totally 
addicting.

    They look great! Maybe I should use the templates.............no paper to pick.

    LOVE your colour combo's, my favourites are aqua's & raspberrys together. My copy of the book has just arrived so I am just about to join the quilt along myself!
