Constructing the Nearly Insane Quilt - Update #1

 
Nearly Insane Quilt - Construction

I have been working on a few different projects lately so I just wanted you all to know that the Nearly Insane Quilt has not been forgotten.  This is the progress so far in terms of putting it together. I love the look as each row gets added, but it takes a long time when you are hand sewing.  What I have done so far seems to be just a drop in the ocean for this stage.

I thought I would show you a picture of the back.  Yes, all the English paper pieces are still in which is allowing me to keep it dead straight and dead flat.  Until the moment when it is ready to be quilted I am really reluctant to remove the paper, the bias on this quilt is CRAZY!

The stitching on this is SO slow that I am almost a day late for Slow Stitching Sunday  but right on time for Deign Wall Monday.

    So nice done in the reds. And so much work involved in making the blocks.

    Breathtaking! I know the stitching must go slow, but how can you keep from sprinting to the finish? It is going to be even more stunning than I expected.
