Southern Spin: Block #4 Farmer's Fancy

 

Southern Spin: Block #4 

Farmer's Fancy by Denniele Bohannon

The Virginia project found many examples of this complex design

and were often told that the name was Farmer's Fancy....

A vernacular name not published before their book.

Another name they heard: Farmer's Delight.

The sketch on the cover of Robertson's 1948 book

showed a little extra piecing in the center circle.
