Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 35

Block 35 has been enjoying the summer sunshine in the garden.  In these last few blocks I have enjoyed using some of the new fabrics I have sourced lately, as well as the old favourites.

In my recent post I mentioned how close I am to completing the blocks for the Nearly Insane quilt, but that I am a bit behind with the sashing and cornerstones.  With a major sporting weekend starting here in the UK (Tour de France - Le Grand Depart, British F1 - Silverstone, Wimbledon Tennis Final), naturally the rain has now set in, so it looks like a good weekend to make the most of the television coverage and move these other components of the sampler quilt forward.

  1. Wimbledon is high on my agenda too, but it will be on at 1am in the morning New Zealand time. We don't even get it on an HD channel this year - it has been squeezed out by the football world cup which is dominating all the usual channels. Have fun with the stitching and sport.

  3. I love it that you can make a block with 69 pieces yet say it only has a difficulty of 1/10! Amazing work, enjoy the weekend (am secretly pleased it's cooled down a bit!) and the tennis :)
