I was cutting out pieces for this weekend's Farmer's Wife blocks and realized I'd never posted the ones I made last Saturday: #77 Seasons and #46 Hill & Valley. Once again I hand pieced them. Somehow, even though they will end up being a whole quilt, when I approach them one at a time like this it doesn't seem at all daunting to be doing them by hand. In fact it's kind of relaxing and gives me that nice feeling of connection to my foremothers (it's also way easier to do with a cat in your lap).

I really like the Seasons block. The patterned fabric in it is a particular favourite but I find something extremely pleasing about the block itself. I like the idea of doing an entire quilt of just this block. Here's a sneak peak at this week's blocks.
