Weeks Two and Three of "Farming"

Okay, so I didn't post my blocks last week (shame on me!), but I did get them sewn.  In fact, I'm a little ahead of schedule!  That feels so good!  Even if my deadline is self inflicted...  :)

I'm learning so much about choosing colors through these blocks.    Sometimes I cut out a block and when I'm done it's not at all what I had pictured.  There are a few blocks in my stack which, frankly, I don't even like.   Other times it's crazy *perfect* when I see the finished product.  I feel like I can almost measure my growth as a quilter with my stack of blocks.   Is that crazy?

Oh, and have I mentioned that this quilt is all from various Bonnie & Camille lines?  With a little of Moda's Bella Solids in white thrown in for good measure...  I'm obsessed.
