Nearly Insane Quilt - Edge Block 93

As I mentioned in a previous post all the edge and corner blocks for my Nearly Insane Quilt are complete.  Here they are in all their glory waiting for the moment when they get sewn into the whole quilt.  Individually they don't look all that special, but with the whole Nearly Insane quilt 'on point' it will be these blocks which complete the overall effect.

This is edge block 93 the last one to be completed.  As I have said before, they don't take long to do and this one was no different.  In the picture above they are laid out in 'pairs', so most have been done twice.

DIFFICULTY: 1/10
SMALLEST PIECE: Triangle 4 1/4" (108mm) x 3" (77mm) x 3" (77mm) 
LARGEST PIECE: Triangle 1 (25mm) x 3/4" (18m) x 3/4" (18mm) 

TECHNIQUE: English Paper Piecing (EPP)

Here are some of the recent edge blocks

With the paper still in them, the blocks have an attractive crunch to them, which made them hard for Suzi to resist.

Nearly Insane Quilt - Edge Block 93

Nearly Insane Edge Blocks: 88, 93, 96, 97

Another round up of the more recent Edge blocks from the Nearly Insane Quilt, featuring 88, 93, 96, and 97.  As I have said before, there are two of each for these, but I have found that they are all very similar anyway, and they don't have the complexity of the full blocks.  They are great to do if one of the more 'meaty' blocks have taken a long time.

Despite its name, my Nearly Insane Quilt is actually the one thing keeping me sane, as it is the only stitching I am managing to do at the moment.  I have a few projects I would like to do, but in the back of my mind I am reserving some time around Christmas ( ... yes, I said Christmas) to do Bonnie Hunter's 2013 Mystery Quilt - has anyone heard if there is one on the cards?
