Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 15

Block 15 - Nearly Insane Quilt

The fabric choice for this blocks went through A LOT of auditioning.  The Days Gone By fabrics are really pretty, but the white background is VERY white, and I have found that it stands out from the more off-white blocks in the Nearly Insane Quilt.  It has been those 'white' blocks which I have considered re-doing.  In this block, I think I have pulled it back by using the Somerset Shirtings which is more off-white.  I also changed the centre square from a rectangle design to a simplified square in a square, to show off a bit of fussy cutting.
