Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt block 20 was Churn Dash, one of the simpler blocks to do. Memories of 'winding the separator' to make cream which my mother turned into luscious fresh butter ... in the good old days when I was young! I am trying to keep to similar colours to what is in the book, The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt by Laurie Aaron Hird; the rich gold in this block does remind me of home-made butter.
Block 21, Contrary Wife is bright and 'contrary'. The letter pertaining to this block catalogues the differences between a country woman and a town woman, to the detriment of the town woman! I chose barely matching colours in an effort to show that perceived gap between town and country.
