this block really was a work in progress, going through many changes on its journey. At the top you can see a pile of 'light' cream corner squares which I abandoned midway for a 'midtone' red. Here is a photo of my little work station I use whilst I sew watching the television. I completed this Nearly Insane block whilst enjoying International Quilt Day with the Quilt Show. I think overall it has added more pieces to the block, but I quite enjoy making the blocks my own.īlock 25 in progress - Nearly Insane Quilt

Therefore it has undergone a bit of makeover in my Electric Quilt software - you can compare the changes below (. The original Block 25 is one of the more 'individual' patterns of the Nearly Insane quilt, with points going here and there, which I quite liked, but once 'on point' not as much. Sometimes, what looks OK in the book, sometimes gets tipped off balance once it is transferred. In the Nearly Insane pattern book by Liz Lois, each block is presented 'square', but in the actual quilt, the blocks are 'on point'.

These jars are lovely for seeing what you have, and you can dip your hand right inside to pull out what you need. Even though this project is meant to be using up scraps, I seem to have created more in the process.

For this project I have been storing my red and white scraps in a giant glass sweet jar. Talking of scraps, my scrap jars have recently multiplied.

Giant sweet jars filled with fabric scraps Originally the central star of Block 46 was going to be all calico, but at the last minute, I popped in a little red pindot - who doesn't like a little red pindot? When choosing fabrics for each block I easily fall into the trap of just sticking to a few favourites, but in this scrap quilt, the more the merrier, so the pindot is a welcome addition. I was also careful to 'fussy' cut the outer striped fabric, so it is the same on each side - I think I am gradually learning. Altering the original block, I have added the cornerstones to the outside border, as it made it easier to negotiate the stripe on the corner. However, depending on the complexity of the English paper piecing in the centre, it can tend to make the straight edges bulge. They are quite fun to do in terms of choosing the fabric combinations. There are several blocks in this style in the Nearly Insane Quilt, where the block is made up of diminishing squares (see Block 11, 39). Hearted Vine Red, Midwinter Reds, Minick & Simpson, Moda 14763-11 The clocks have gone forward today - for once I have excuse for where the time has gone! Today I am spending some time in my workroom preparing some of my Nearly Insane blocks, cutting out the fabrics pieces ready for stitching - a good excuse for playing with my red and white fabric stash and enjoy choosing those combinations. When you see the blocks together it is a reminder of how patchwork allows the creation of infinite combinations of fabrics for different results. Here is the block shown with its twin Edge Block 89. This one shows more evidence of fussy cutting on that Michael Miller Rail Stripe fabric. These edge blocks are usually quite quick to complete - (this one has just 13 pieces), so they often get overlooked when I blog. Over recent weeks I have managed to complete quite a few Nearly Insane blocks, and edge blocks, so over the next few days I hope to give them each their own '15 Minutes of Fame', whilst I catch up with my blogging.
