Beside them, a deep scrappy field of diagonal string blocks runs the length of the quilt in every color, all framed by a blue and green plaid border. It finishes at 68.5\" x 81.5\", a generous throw full of barnyard personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Pattern Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed paper pattern only.

The animals are built as novelty pieced blocks, the stars are familiar patchwork, and the long scrappy panel is made from Lori's Paper Strings blocks, strips sewn on the diagonal so every one comes out a little different. Put together, they make a quilt with a lot of character that still relies on straightforward sewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft gray background sets off the animal tower and keeps all the scrappy color from feeling busy, while the plaid border ties the country look together. The scrappier your prints, the more the string panel sparkles, which makes this a great way to use a Farmer's Daughter fat-quarter bundle or a stash of favorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's Sew Emma rates Farmyard Friends Intermediate, and it's a friendly place to try novelty blocks for the first time. The animal blocks look intricate but come together from simple shapes with clear diagrams, so the project rewards patience and accurate piecing more than advanced skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISE-318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lori Holt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilting Pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate (It's Sew Emma's classification).
