Here are a few of the Farmers Wife Quilt Along blocks I have made. I have completed over 50 blocks... but I still have many more to piece. This will be one of my summer projects. I find humor in a farmer wife piecing a Farmers Wife Quilt. And with regards to the book... I don't know that I would encourage my daughters to marry a farmer. I would, however, encourage them to marry someone with which  they share a sense of humor  and someone who loves their job. VERY IMPORTANT! My Mr. Farmer loves his job! I have never heard him say that he did not want to go to work. I am glad he likes his job, and basically our life style.
