One more Block…

Just now finished another Nearly Insane Block. # 21

I’m on a roll now - Cheers Sue

Finally Nearly Insane Block 8

 
Block 8 is finally finished. I actually made it to the last border before I chose the fabrics for the last border. Did not like my first colour choices and this is my second.
I did manage to squeeze a couple of tiny bugs and a chicken’s head in. Not obvious or they will not be in the bigger quilt. I have set out to make this block 3 times in the last 18 months.  and I am happy it is finished.
Have a great Creative weekend All
Cheers Lynne

Block 8 Revisited! - Sue

I decided the whole block was too light in colour, so I undid the outer border and remade it. I think it looks alot better.

                                                      Block 15
I enjoyed this one, as it was easy. The main thing for me is to get the colours right. I have so many Civil War style fabrics, but have to make sure the blocks are going to go together. I may have to remake block 1 and 2??
 



                                                              Block 9

I looks a little crooked on the outer corners but it will be fine when its sewn in the quilt. I should have starched the block before scanning!

Block 77 - Tazzie

I'm really on a roll! Here is my block 77 - the fabrics in the flying geese points are a little blendy, but I can live with them. It's feeling good to get back into these darling little blocks, and I think I now only have 18 to go! Yay!

Block 61 - Tazzie

I'm all inspired right now, and so I've gotten another block together quickly. This one is block 61, and if I had to choose a word to describe it, I'd choose 'pesky'. Lots of flippy corners!

If you haven't made this block, I definitely have a recommendation: always press your seams toward the red fabric. Makes the block go together much easier. Ask me how I know :-)

Block 55 - Tazzie

Here is my block 55. Isn't it a bit of an oddfellow? I've cobbled it together using the smallest of my scraps from the bottom of my 'Nearly Insane Scraps' container - and yet there are still so many more!

This is block number 78 for me, so that means I have only 20 to go. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Block 82 Nearly Insane

Hi All I am straight back into my blocks. Hope to finish piecing all the Nearly Insane blocks this year :-) I have made 57 blocks so far. Oh and I am halfway through piecing the dreaded Block 8! Stay tune for a photo soon. Hope you have a Great New Years Weekend  Cheers Lynne

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my Nearly Insane friends. I hope 2011 brings wonderful things for you all.

I'm looking forward to getting back into my blocks now that all the Christmas and New Year fun is finished with. I wonder which block I'll choose next ...

Nearly Insane Blocks # 8 & 14

Whew! Block # 8 was a mission, but I thought I may as well tackle it now, rather then leave it. I am piecing my blocks in the diagonal order, so the dreaded # 8 was next on the list. I have noticed its a bit wonky top right corner so I may have to tweak it!!



The next block # 14


Must get back to the kitchen and make some Apricot & Coconut Balls in time for Saturday. We have our Family Christmas Celebration a week before, so all the adult kids and the kiddies can go to their other respective parents/grandparents on Christmas day. The MIL ( me) doesn’t seem to get Christmas day, but thats O.K. as we go to the Italian side of the family for our traditional Christmas fare!

Bye for now
Sue

Nearly Insane Blocks 7 and 77

Block 7 and Block 77. They look so different. There are little apples around the square in the square and what looked to me like Christmas lights in the Chrome Yellow in B7

Love Block 77Those Greens and Double pinks with a little Chrome yellow as a Zing

Wish I could say I was getting more sewing done! Plan on baking another fruit cake tomorrow. The Hazelnut one and other Christmassy things. Have a Great Week All Cheers Lynne
