Sorry Julie! I still haven't managed to get mine in the mail yet. I did however manage to put a great big old hole in it so I need to start over. Hoping this weekend will be more profitable in the sewing!

Audrey - been there done that! With all we farm girls have to do, we have to remember we are only ONE person - instead of the ten people others think we are! Don't worry - I'm still waiting on some, and a couple won't be able to get them out until at least July, so I can be patient. I'm just greatful you can do this for me in the first place!

Hi Julie, I am brand new to the Farmgirl Connection, but quilting/sewing is one thing I am not new to! If you are still accepting 6.5" blocks for your scrappy quilt, I will make one up and mail to you. And if you need any help with your project, ask away!

Barbara & Kathy - Sorry it took so long to respond, but where we live we are 'internet challenged' - aka only dial up, and only when the wind blows at a certain angle at the same time the sun is in one exact spot and when at least two of my cows are pointed north and standing on two legs! I would LOVE to have your contribution to my quilt. I'm emailing both of you, and cannot wait to see your square! Thanks a million!

Oleta - That is the CUTEST square! I love the colors and as far as I could see, every tiny square was perfectly aligned. You did a lot of work on that, my friend, and I truly appreciate it. I cannot wait to get started piecing it!

This idea reminds me of Jennifer Chiaverini's "Union Square" book. I love that book and I love this idea! Wish I were confident enough to participate.

Ladies - I have received 13 out of 24 squares, and I cannot tell you how beautiful this quilt is going to be! I am amazed at the farm girl talent, and can't wait for all of you to see how beautiful its going to be! I'm planning on piecing it the beginning of October, so those who haven't sent their squares still have time. Thanks again, ladies - I can't wait to start working on it!!!

Julie, If it is not too late, I would love to send you a block.

Remember… Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body. Instead, you should slide in sideways, glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, in a body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming “Woohooo! What a ride!”

Sarah and Kim, I would love to have a square from y'all! I'll email you with my address, and when you get it ready, just send it on! Judith, April & Audrey - YES!! I got your squares and love them! I really need to make a list of all that I've received, so everyone knows I got them. I am sorry I've been out of touch, but farm life and heat will wear you out fast, as you all know! I'll work on that this week then post! Thanks again, EVERYONE, for helping me with this project!

April, Audrey and Judith - I DID get your squares and I love them! Thanks again for sending them. I'll be starting on the quilt in about two weeks or so, so if anyone else wants to send one, just let me know and I'll wait for them. I can't wait to get started!

Here's a list of the squares I've received: Audry; Debbie (Colorado), Diana, Fran, Sandy, Toni, CHristine, Annette, Debbie (Alaska), Judith, April, Bonnie, Jeanna, Loyce & Melody. That makes 15. Let me know if I should have received others and I'll check!

Hi Julie! I know you got the block I sent to you. Just want to double check it makes the cut into your cool quilt! Barbara from Hingham, MA |

Hey, Barbara! Yes. Every square I get will be incorporated into the quilt. There is no way I could leave out even one of these squares - they are all just too beautiful and too well done! If I don't have enough squares I'm adding some of my own. If I have 'too many', it just means making a bigger quilt!
