Farmers Wife 2018 Update

It's snowing in Minnesota.  I'm chilling in my sewing room watching Project Runway Allstars season 2 and really enjoying how my Farmer's Wife SAL is coming out.  I posted in FB a few weeks ago about this SAL and the fabrics I'm using which are Tula Pink All Stars solids.  The question was should I do the blocks with all the colors - mixed up - or different shades of the same color?  I think the responses were split but I decided on the same color with different shades.  Pictures below of the first 3 blocks #Addie #Aimee #Alice.  Aimee and Alice are paper pieced.  I love paper piecing.  I'm getting ready to do a big paper pieced project soon.  Perhaps something from Sassafras Lane.  Sue M?  Ready for another one?  I actually purchased the foundation papers for Empire Place the other day.  Back to Farmers Wife..... I really appreciate all the information provided from www.gnomeangel.com and the CD that comes with the Farmer's Wife book.  I'm going to make all 99 blocks which is the queen size.  I printed out that sheet, put a small swatch of each fabric on the edge, and then used pencils to color in the blocks.  I'm really stoked with how it looks.
