Block #51 - Sarah



Block #51 - Yahoo group's challenge block this week. I had to redo the setting corner triangles after the pic because I noticed that I had no seam allowance. I changed the coloring a little by making the spokes the same color as the anvil head portion of the center. What do you think?

Block #33 - Sarah

Block #33 - I really like this block. I wanted a somewhat easy one to do and this one caught my eye. I liked the yellowy orange that I used in the last block, so I decided it would be the main color in this block. I like how the color arrangement differs from the book and original quilt.

Block #74 - Sarah

Here is my block #74. Not all of my points match up, so I am kind of disappointed. This is the BOW for the blog Nearly Insane Quilts. I used Thangles, but the half square triangles still didn't come out the right size. I might redo this one, but it is okay for now.

My First Two Blocks

Hello, I am Sarah and I just started my Nearly Insane quilt. I am using the shirting lines from Renee Nanneman called Isty Bits. There are several collections and I just bought them all because I couldn't decide.This is Block #1.


This is block #2 - I did this one first, but it didn't come out the right size. It is like 3/4 inch short, Oops.


This is my block #2 redo - This one is the right size. Amazing what a small error will cause in such a small block. I now always measure after each additional piece.
