Block 48, Nearly Insane Quilt |
Travel Stitching Projects - English Paper Piecing |
Hand stitching aside - I have found that I am really enjoying doing the Nearly Insane blocks with stars in them and in the back of my mind I have a few 'Star Quilt' projects I am thinking about doing. You can see my ever growing 'ideas' collection by visiting my Pinterest page (the button is on my sidebar).
BTW: In many of my blocks I am using cream fabrics which have a white print on them - you can just about make out the swirls in the corner of this block. There are loads of these on the market, but do they have a special name?
So that is Block 48.

Wonderful block! I love hand piecing :)
ReplyDeleteI am hand stitching a quilt at the moment and I can not imagine doing more than one quilt this way. I am in awe of your work.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteTiny pieces:) I commend you for all those skills you have at hand stitching! I have hand quilted a couple quilts and you can get a lot done that way while waiting or watching a show or something.
ReplyDeleteI love this one! Those little triangles are... dare i say, insane! And the cherry print is adorable!
