Contrary Wife Quilt Block

Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt-Contrary Wife

How I changed the pattern.

I didn't make any changes.

What I liked best

This was an easy pattern to make. I've been doing a lot of paper piecing and did this pattern that way. Even though it's fairly neutral, I still love how it turned out.

The first block is one I did for the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt. The block size is 6 inches, which is why I paper pieced. It's a great quilt to make and has really helped me improve choosing colors to make my blocks more interesting.

Advice

  • Even though I paper pieced mine because of the size, this is a great block and easy to piece and put together!

This block is somewhat different than the one you'll see on my pattern page, and I like it. where I used a border stripe, this quilter repeated the light background fabric.
