The blocks photos you sent me are actually in the next post since I actually have that one written but only in finishing the foundation piecing posts did I realize that I almost forgot these five blocks. Somehow I thought that I had posted all of this type of block and I didn't want to fiddle around with the next, already finished but not published post. Anyway, watch very soon for that post since it is actually finished. I just decided that I wanted all of this type of block together and then we will do the other types of blocks together.
So with that, the last five basic pieced blocks!
Our first block this week is Block #32 - Farmer's Daughter.
Cut one 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" blue square.Cut four 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" grey rectangles.

Organize your pieces the way you want them to look.
Sew together pairs so that they look like the right.
