Blocks of the Month – Farm Girl Vintage – March/April 2026

by heavenstobetty, posted in DIY & Home Improvement

The following quilt block patterns are from Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt.

I had chosen Baking Day on page 13 for March. But I didn’t finish it until last week, and I forgot whose turn it was to choose, and I chose Egg Basket on page 24 for April. Oops! My mom gets to pick the next two! Ha!

I used the inner waistband from my ruined shorts for the stripe in the large bowl for Baking Day
my mom’s Baking Day in two sizes
my mom’s collection of 6 inch and 12 inch blocks so far
I messed up the block… I’m a beginner… I made a mistake and tried to keep going with it and that led to another mistake… alas, failure is how we sometimes learn… I don’t think this block will end up in my finished quilt.
Well… That is the way that the trim is supposed to look on the top of the basket, but for some reason, the bottom two pieces of the basket didn’t line up quite right… 🤷🏻‍♀️
my mom will show us how it’s done ❤️

My mom chose Sunny Sunflower Block on page 66 for May 2026.

  1. I can’t find this book for a reasonable price yet. 🥲😂♥️ I may try to set up my sewing machine this summer and use the library copy?, but with a wedding and remodeling, it may not be my “return to quilting “ season! 🤪 These are beautiful, Jen!!

    1. I’ll keep an eye out for it when I go thrifting… 🤞 But yes, I can barely manage a block a month without a wedding or a remodel! ❤️
      Thank you! Honestly, I feel like they never turn out quite the way I envisioned them. But I’m a newbie – I have lots to learn!

  4. The wording about the basket on the fabric is so cute to read! You are very creative to use part of the band from your shorts. I would never have thought about doing it. Keep going! When something I make doesn’t turn out “just right” I saw, well, you can tell it wasn’t made in a factory! HAHA
