So, using my new system of drawing a slip randomly to choose which block to make first, and using the new colour scheme of Japanese taupe (and similar style) prints and unbleached calico, I went ahead and tackled the Farmer's Wife project again today.
No 26, Cut Glass Dish, was actually one I had done before, and though there are lots of small triangles, it's not too hard a block to do.
No 43, Garden Path, however was another story - inset seams - yikes! I may yet take this apart and put the red border on using a different technique as this really annoys me that the corners don't quite meet up perfectly. We'll see. At least it's a start...

Interesting blocks, and I like your new color choices! Good luck on those inset seams.... ;-)
Those colors are gorgeous. That last block looks challenging!
I'm in awe of anyone who can do these blocks. Best of luck with the seams.
Your blocks look lovely. You could redo the scond one using half-square triangles instead of a strip (for the red frame) and then you'll eliminate inset seams. I am slowly very slowly making those blocks and am redrawing some when it makes it easier. Good luck anyway!
A brave way to approach it! This novice would choose the easiest blocks first - hey wait! This novice wouldn't even think about tackling that project! I hope it works out better for you than the previous blocks.
