Here are my blocks hanging on a clothesline in my sewing room....
we just hung the tiny clothesline yesterday.....and using tiny little clothespins....how fun!! 
The blocks are from the Farm Girl Vintage quilt along............
Now I have done five of these blocks....the first one I did in 12" and made into a
tabletopper.
This week I finished the baking day block and the butter churn block

Farm Girl Vintage autumn star and baby chick blocks

 I put these on instagram over the past week and almost forgot to document here!
I still have to stitch the chick legs and eye....
I use my blog as a way of documenting my projects, etc....and hopefully inspires others!

These are both 6" blocks and wow.....that autumn star block was challenging!!
***Here is a really good tip.....spray the fabric before sewing with starch or Mary Ellen Best Press....
 Here is the layout using my alphabitties to mark the pieces before I sewed the baby chick.....
AND here are the pieces ready for the next block...baking day block.
Lots of photos on instagram for inspiration
....AND follow Lori Holt Bee in my Bonnet blog for the fun!

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
