Instead of growing quilt tops on my actual design wall, I'm gradually working on quilting the Farmer's Wife Quilt, mounted on my Megaquilter frame. It's a short/mid-arm rather than a long-arm, so it has a limited range of motion and I can only quilt about half of a diagonal-set block at a time before having to roll. Today I finished the first bit of blue sashing and began working on the actual blocks in the top row. This is #106, Wild Rose and Square.

I guess I'm going to be making a Farmer's Wife quilt too. My 30's fabrics Yahoo group is doing it as a weekly quilt-a-long starting in January. I was very disappointed to find that the CD gave us templates rather than paper piecing foundations. Did you use templates for all your blocks? I think I will just use "math" to do all the ones with easy measurements. I'm not sure what would take less time for the hard ones - drafting them in EQ7 for paper piecing or giving in and using templates. Your thoughts?
