Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 24

Block 24 - Nearly Insane Quilt, visits Dartmoor National Park, Devon

I have been out and about again with my Nearly Insane Quilt blocks.  This time Block 24 had a trip to Dartmoor National Park, in Devon over the weekend.   Even with all the rain we have had over the past month, the moors were quite dry, and I even caught the sun on my face. It was a beautiful day - just look at that blue sky.

Block 24 - Nearly Insane Quilt

The block isn't too bad either!  Flying geese and stripes all round.  The flying geese can become a bit  bulky, but the square pattern of this block helped to keep things lined up.  A nicely balanced block.

If you are new to this blog, here's a photo of the back of the block, showing you the English paper pieces, and also to give a sense of scale of these completed 6 inch blocks.  At some time in the future, all the blocks will be sewn together, and quilted together in the quilt, so all this work will be hidden.
