Back on the NI bandwagon!

WooHoo....yes I am....I'm back on the Nearly Insane bandwagon. During the last week I was able to slip away to my downstairs sewing room (one half of the utility room) and whip out a few red & white blocks. This sewing room is right off of the kitchen, so if I had cookies in the oven or something simmering on the stove I could be right there in case I was needed. Here are the blocks that were made...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I haven't checked lately, but if my memory serves me right I've only got about 15 or 16 blocks lefts to make!!!! Then I'll have to sash and make the border....still a lot of work to do, but I'm closer than I was before!

The weather is gray and yucky and we had snow last night. Not much stuck, but we still have piles from last week. Tomorrow we take Emily to the airport....I'm going to miss having her around. It's been a pretty good holiday season so far and we'll finish up celebrating with Jay's Mom, sister and her family on Saturday.

Have a great day and try to get some sewing time in!

it feels good to be close to a finish line on a quilt like that - you have put so much effort into it. Looking forward to seeing it done.

Good for you. I got my cutting table cleared off and finished cutting out a flannel quilt. I hope to sew today. Our snow last night was minimal, too.

Ranette, they're gorgeous. One of my goals this coming year is to get going with my blocks. You are on the home stratch even if there is a bit to go.

Wow, what lovely blocks.. I really like the red and white.. It will make a striking quilt when finished. We got about 4 " here..Can't compare to your house. I am new blogger and really enjoy reading and being a part of this big system. Isn't it fun? Thanks,
