Couldn't Resist Any Longer


I really tried.  For several weeks.  Even after seeing this post.  And this one.  And this one.  Oh, and this one.  And a hundred others.  I'm sure I need some sort of therapy.  If you'd like more details about the Farmer's Wife Quilt-A-Long, visit Amanda and Angela who are hosting this wonderful quilt-along.   

Oh, and one more thing!  The winner of a copy of Scrap-Basket Sensations is Kathie.  Congratulations!  If you'll send me your mailing address, the book will be on its way.   And if you entered the drawing at The Fat Quarter Shop, hurry on over to see if you won a copy there.  Thank you all for playing along.

Hope I run into you at the Farmer's Wife Quilt-A-Long!

I will NOT cave! :) At least that's what I'm telling the voice in my head :)

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

I'm trying to be strong and just enjoy yours Kim!!!

Deanna said...

Your fabrics are LOVELY! I am still resisting...barely.

Suzanne said...

I caved as well! I have just ordered my book as well as the companion EQ cd and I am eagerly awaiting their arrival. I have decided to do mine out of my older fabrics and scraps - much the same as a Farmer's Wife would have done all those years ago. I have joined the Farmer's wife Flickr and Yahoo groups and just love all the fuss being made about this really inspirational quilt.

Barb said...

funny.......you just had to think about it long enough.....

congrats to the winner.

annieb said...

I caved last week, too. Although I am not officially joining as I know this is a better winter project for me. I am going to use old Thimbleberries, Kansas Troubles, and scraps, and have started pulling what I want to use.

Vivian said...

I'm wavering--I'm tempted--I'm getting weak. I know which fabrics I'd use, and I've owned the book for a while. For now I'll just watch your progress, but I'm soooooo tempted.

Sandie @ crazy'boutquilts said...

Oh my, et tu Kim?! I'm resisting mightily. :-)) Love your fabric choices!

sewfunquilts said...

Have a fun time with it! Fabrics are lovely.

ferne said...

I have had this book for a while and not to sure about the templates, but you are all making it look so fun and all the fabric choices aren't helping...they are great!

Mary said...

Enjoy, it is a fun quilt to make. I finished mine the beginning of the year.

Roos said...

It's indeed a beautiful quilt and the fabrics you are going to use are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to see your first blocks.

QuiltSue said...

You must be mad! But the fabrics you've chosen are wonderful. I'll look forward to enjoying seeing them become blocks and then a quilt.

Abby and Stephanie said...

Sometimes it's just too hard to resist. Beautiful fabric. I'm a bystander, watching everyone make pretty blocks. :o)

Darlene said...

Oh, it's going to be fun to watch your progress. I'm resisting - so far, so good. :-)

Carol said...

YIPPEE! You're going to have so much fun! These blocks are just like potato chips! Addicting! ENJOY!

*karendianne. said...

Oh my gosh this is going to be so totally to fun to watch as you share your beautiful piecing and fabric selections. I'm excited! ;)

Nicole said...

So tempted to participate! I saw the book in a shop yesterday and nearly caved in and bought it. I clicked on your links and was amazed at the gal who made a binder of her templates for the blocks. Talk about organized!

Browndirtcottage said...

OHHHHH NOOOOO! Not you too!!! I wish all you gals had just said 'NO'!!! Man, I love this quilt!! Yes, I must NOT give in!!

suemac said...

Glad you joined all of us other nuts. I have eleven blocks done and I have also joined the Flickr and Yahoo groups. The Yahoo group has the paper templates. Have fun it is addictive.

Nicky said...

Glad you joined in - now you just have to show all these bystanders what they are missing! heehee! Love your fabric choices - it is fantastic the variation that is possible...

Trudi said...

Welcome to the Funny Farm! Your fabrics are gorgous! Awe, you knew resistence is futile right?

Sinta Renee said...

Good luck Kim! I think your fabrics will be great for the traditional look! Better you than me.

Thimbleanna said...

Nooooooo! Now I'm going to have to send you the addy for the self-help blog. You know...for recovering addicts. Or rather, those who have fallen LOL. Have fun!!!

antique quilter said...

I am very excited to win the book!

Maybe I can join in Sept...need to get thru the summer!
thanks again
Kathie

Wendy said...

Oh my this is very exciting, you are a wonderful pile of reds, browns and beige's there.

Candace said...

I bought the book when it first came out and I now think I'm getting enough inspiration to join in the fun, Kim!
Cheers!

colorcrazy said...

I have been trying very hard to NOT take on this project Kim. And then I see your post. Oh, I must be strong and follow all of you. I have so many projects in progress........

Heather said...

It's too tempting to miss. See you on flickr!

veerle said...

Really love the colours!!!! Wouldn't know where to buy it in Belgium ...

Prof. S (the enchanted bobbin) said...

I'm soooo glad you're doing the QAL -- you'll love it! And thanks so much for linking one of my FWQAL posts...I'm really flattered :)

Diane said...

I've had the book for a good while, I just can't decide on the fabric. I already am making the Civil War blocks on Barbara Brackman's blog with my CW scraps. I'm not sure I want to make another with CW. But if I don't use them, what will I use? THAT is why I haven't started yet. So I set it aside again. :(

Anonymous said...

I've debated about jumping into this one since the book came out. Can't wait to see yours.
