Tall pieced flowers grow from canning jars on one side and a plump hen stands on the other, while bees drift through a cream background crowded with pieced sampler blocks: stars, churn dashes, and nine-patches among them. It finishes at a generous 77.5\" x 88.5\", a bed-size quilt full of country charm.\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 farm girl, the flowers and canning jars, the hen and bird, and every sampler block around them are pieced from ordinary rotary-cut shapes, with no appliqué and no paper piecing. A few small details are finished with hand embroidery. The result reads as more involved than any single step actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top of the quilt is a field of different traditional blocks, stars and churn dashes and nine-patches, and the girl's apron is its own little patchwork, so the scrappier the prints the better. A cream background ties all that variety together and keeps the country palette cheerful rather than busy. Pulling from a fat-quarter bundle of Lori's Farmer's Daughter collection is the quickest route to the look on the cover, though any warm country palette works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's Sew Emma rates this one Intermediate, and that fits: the pleasure is in the variety, a pictorial scene plus a sampler of blocks, with small pieces throughout. The techniques stay familiar, so the project rewards accurate cutting and working block by block.\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-317\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).
