Farm girl blocks again.......

With a little help from my friends I decided on a 2 tone handle for the teakettle.  I wanted the upright pieces to look like metal but I wouldn't want to burn my hand so the top is a heat proof handle.  I went realistic on my canning jars and put food in them.

A lot of people expressed surprise that I am doing these blocks.  I was raised on a farm so my first 19 years all related to farm living.  I went to one room schoolhouses through 4th grade.  I rode a school bus for 8 years.  Country living was all I knew.  I didn't move to a town until I was married and this town surrounded by corn fields is only 7421 residents now, around 2500 when I moved here.  My parents continued to live on farms into their late 80s so I was visiting farms all the way into my 60s.  I love anything related to farming in quilt blocks and can't wait to make the tractor block.  It is larger so this will turn into either a medallion style quilt or lots of different size blocks fit together like a puzzle.  I might even design a few of my own blocks for it.
