Farmer's Daughter pattern

I enjoy watching Quilt in a Day with Eleanor Burns on Friday mornings on KET.  After having been grading papers for a couple hours, it's a nice 30-minute break.  Plus, she is so upbeat in her demonstrations and story telling!

Today, as she demonstrated the "Farmer's Daughter" pattern a light bulb went off in my head.  This is the pattern that I will use to create a pink themed block for an October challenge at my local quilt shop!    It just so happens that I purchased three coordinating fat quarters yesterday that I wanted to use for the block, and here is my chance.

Materials:

1 pink fat quarter

1 black fat quarter

1 white fat quarter

Cuts:

*Pink:

4-2 1/2" squares

2-2 1/2" x 10 1/2"

2-2 1/2" x 15"

*Black:

8-2 1/2" squares

*White:

5-2 1/2" squares

4-2 1/2" x 6 1/2"

1.  Using 1 white rectangle with 2 black squares, create 4 wide flying geese.

2.  Lay out the block as shown in the picture.

3.  Sew the middle 9-square.

4.  Sew the top and bottom flying geese to the middle.

5.  Sew the border squares to the vertical flying geese.

6.  Sew those two sides to the rest of the block.

7.  Sew the 2 shorter pink strips to the sides.

8.  Sew the 2 longer pink strips to the top and bottom.

9.  Press and trim to desired size 

This will eventually be squared up to 12" but I wanted to wait to make sure the guidelines didn't change between now and October.

Thanks, Eleanor Burns for the inspiration!
