Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 54

Block 54 - Nearly Insane Quilt

I have been waiting for a block in my Nearly Insane quilt where I would have an excuse to use my red peppermint fabric again and Block 54 is the lucky one!  I do love a good novelty fabric.  Whilst they don't always reach the sales counter with me, I always take time in a quilt shop to check I am not missing anything special. I particularly like the food ones - do you have any that you look out for?



Pearlescent star fabric

Also, as it was a star block, I felt it was appropriate to use a new pearlescent star fabric that has joined my fabric stash.  It makes a change from calico, and I am hoping that when the whole quilt is finished the little dots of shimmer will add to the overall effect.

BTW - I have added a search button for my blog on the sidebar.  I think it is mainly for me to keep track of these blocks - better late than never!

Another block, another Whoop Whoop!.  Also joining Crazy Mom Quilts!
