Miniature Block of the Month July 2015 - The Quilt Room

For the past few months I have been a bit late completing my BOM, but this month The Quilt Room were slightly delayed themselves, only posting the details of the Miniature Block of the Month for July yesterday.  Today I have had a bit of time to get it done and it came together quite easily.

I find flying geese blocks quite easy with the foundation method, but  it doesn't look as if I have been very generous with the seam allowance at the edges of this one.

Meanwhile, progress is being made on the Nearly Insane Quilt borders.  They are all together and I am slowly applying them to the main quilt.  This Nearly Insane progress is due to the 2015 Tour de France.  I love to relax and stitch, whilst I watch the cyclists work up a sweat in the French countryside.  I might be 'nearly insane', but those cyclist have to be 'completely insane' to endure 3 weeks of relentless cycling. 

As you can see all that effort on their part has completely exhausted Suzi the cat.

    Another lovely mini block. I've been stitching in time with the pedals too - watching the Tour de France! If nothing else it is the most wonderful tour of parts of Europe - such beautiful countryside :)

    Love that little block. And Suzi might not look so relaxed if she knew how much work went into that border! Can't wait to see the entire quilt. I'm sure you are thinking the same thing. And I agree that long distance cyclists are definitely crazier than quilters!

    I love your fur helper! Suzi is definitely into quilting. Your mini block is wonderful. I can't wait to see both projects when you're finished.

    The "Nearly Insane Quilt" you made is fabulous! I just found some of the blocks on pinterest today. I'm wondering if there is a book of patterns that you've published or are selling the pattern for the quilt? I'm not sure I have the patience for it but it is WONDERFUL!
    Thanks for making it and sharing with us.
