Give Away!! Bright Blocks Need Good Homes

Update: Most of the blocks have been claimed and I've sent out emails to the lucky people to have claimed blocks. Thank you all so much for giving homes to these blocks! Comments have been closed for this particular give-away.

As you all know, I changed directions on my Farmer's Wife Sampler. As a result, I have several blocks that need new homes and I'm more than happy to drop these babies into the mail this weekend to someone who will love them.

So, the rules. Photos of the blocks up for grabs are below. One block per person. First come, first served, though I have to limit this particular give-away to U.S. residents. Leave a comment telling me which block you want. I will follow up to your comment with an email asking for your snail mail address. This means, if you don't have a Blogger/Google account, please provide me an email address in the comment for me to contact you.

#001 Attic Windows

The orientation on this block doesn't match the book - I downloaded the foundation pattern from the Yahoogroup, and forgot to mirror image this prior to printing.

#002 Autumn Tints

For whatever reason, I also paper-pieced this one. Couldn't tell you why now, but I did.

#100 Weathervane

Another paper-pieced block, in which I removed some unnecessary seams.

#004 Basket Weave

I followed the book lay out for the colors, and it's a grouping of some prints that I just love. No surprise that they're all tone on tone, right?

#010 Bowtie

Again, paper-piecing to the resuc. I was kind of retentive about how the white patches met in the middle.

#008 Bouquet

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I finished this one up... I'd meant for the pink triangle that's the base of the basket to be the polka dot fabric.

#006 Big Dipper

Have I told you all how much Quarter Square Triangles can kick my ass? It took me three tries to do this one without a cut off point.

#009 Box

I have an attraction to 'ugly' prints. Plus, the floral print here was on clearance for $2/yard.

#012 Broken Sugar Bowl

Not only do I like 'ugly' prints, I made too many HSTs that finish at 2".

#111 Wrench

And, finally, the end of my mistake. Yeah.. Way too many of that unit.

#029 Economy

Bright screaming pink... I'm not even sure why I bought this fabric in the first place. I'm almost out of it, thank goodness. It only took five years.

#061 Northern Lights

Funnily enough, I love both of these fabrics... by themselves. Together? Not so much.

#092 Streak of Lightning

I love, love, love, this polka dot fabric. I should have purchased the whole bolt when I saw it in the shop.

Well, there you have it, folks! Thirteen Farmer's Wife Sampler blocks, all in need of new homes. For those of you not doing the FWS, but just like the blocks, these finish at 6" X 6", so they're actually 6.5"square with the seam allowances.
