Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 10



Block 10 - Nearly Insane Quilt

I think you would describe Block 10 as an Ohio Star Variation – just one of many variations which I have already done, and have yet to do, as part of the Nearly Insane Quilt.

In this block I am showcasing my new ‘favourite’ fabric which I have recently purchased, Polka Party III by Holly Holderman for Lakehouse Drygoods, which I picked up at the Patchwork Basket in Newent. The cream fabric on the star has a subtle spot print on it, which is pearlescent  - just enough to add a little special something when it catches the light. I hope you can appreciate it from the detail picture.

Just a reminder that I am doing the quilt using the English Paper Piecing method, mainly because I need it to be portable, as I am travelling around, which is why you can see large green tacking stitches still in the block.  I don't usually take these out until I am putting the quilt top together.
(WHOOPS! - I have just realised that I have forgotten to let you know the latest draw of blocks - I will get you up to speed over the weekend!)
