Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 67

Block 67 - Nearly Insane Quilt
Does anyone recognise this block?  This Nearly Insane block looks as if it should have a REAL name, not just a number.  As with all the blocks, I have done this one with English Paper Piecing, and because of the size and shapes of the pieces, it is an ideal candidate.  Just a reminder - EPP can be used for any shapes, not just Hexagons!

This block only has 29 pieces.  They are all easy to handle sizes, and it goes together without a fuss.  In fact Draw 10, has been quite an easy ride so far, which is good, because I have been keen to get a move on with this project.  I need to do a few more blocks before I give you all a full update photo, but we are not too far off.

NUMBER OF PIECES: 29
DIFFICULTY: /10
SMALLEST PIECE: Square, 2" (50mm) x 2" (50 mm)
LARGEST PIECE: Triangle, 1 7/8" (36mm) x 1" (25 mm) x 1" (25mm)

TECHNIQUE: English Paper Piecing (EPP)

  1. I have been following along watching this quilt grow what caught my eye to begin with was that you are EPP - I had never seen this done on anything but mainly hexagons. The quilt is looking more beautiful everyday!
