Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 59



It was almost a month ago since I asked for all your opinions for the colour choice of Block 59. It is only now that I have finally got around to getting it together.  Thank you for your thoughts.  In the end I went with Joann, Carole and Tubakk, and have made No 4.

Today, I have just started getting ready for Christmas.  The Christmas decorations have been taken down from the attic and the Christmas cards are finally in the pipeline.  I would love to be doing more blocks for this quilt.  I would love to be catching up with Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt, but at the moment there are other priorities.

    Yea! I'm glad you went with this version. I love it! I still have to do my cards, sigh. I'm trying to sneak some sewing in the mix, too.

    Another beautiful block! I love the setting you used with the robin and berries, very Christmassy. Thanks for linking to my blog :)
