Nearly Insane has been on tour again, this time back to France for a short trip in the Normandy region, famous for the Bayeux Tapestry, Mont St Michel, the River Seine, and, like most regions in France, patisserie!
This block was done on the journey over, waiting for the ferry and during the crossing, plenty for time for it to come together easily. On my recent Nearly Insane Update, I mentioned the need for getting up to date on the sashing and cornerstones. This is what I did for the remainder of the trip. This time I concentrated on the half cornerstones which are on the edge of the quilt, and with less pieces they also came together easily.
As you know, most of my sewing is done whilst travelling, and I can recommend the French roads in Normandy for a pleasant, smooth road.
NUMBER OF PIECES: 33
DIFFICULTY: 2/10
SMALLEST PIECE: Triangle 1" (26mm) x 3/4" (19mm) x 3/4" (19mm)
