Nearly Insane in Red & White





Here are pics of my Nearly Insane blocks to date. To say that I love making these blocks is an understatement! I found the book several years ago and there are no instructions really so I just put it on the back burner. Then 18 months ago I started my Baby Jane quilt. My tiny piecing and paper piecing skills improved by leaps and bounds. I kept googling Nearly Insane quilts and stumbled on Hanne's blog and her red and white quilt spoke to me like no other quilt ever has really. So I started my own, thank you Hanne for the color scheme!

Yesterday I tried to start a big block quilt and just couldn't do it, so I put it away and made another of the red and white beauties. Also I only have 6 months left on my Dear Jane BOM from Stitchin Heaven. I am current right now and I hope to stay that way through the fall when my life gets so much busier. I have an appointment with my longarm quilter for January 09 for that quilt. I hope to have the Red & White done before then.

Also a big Happy 50th Birthday to my wonderful hubby! He is an amazing man, husband and father. I love you Jay!

Hi Ranette! Your blog is great! I've spent a bit of time checking it out and just wanted to say that your work is wonderful! Your Nearly Insane is quite impressive, as well! I have contemplated doing this after my Baby Jane is done!!! All the best! Mary Ann
