I think I'll stop when I get 12 blocks. I'll probably repeat more blocks. I like the rail fence block but I don't think it fits in, neither does that other block, the one kind of like a partial log cabin block. I used to be more of a rule follower, trying to make the quilt exactly as the pattern says. I've matured!Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-88524453287922511642017-02-01T09:37:20.100-05:002017-02-01T09:37:20.100-05:00I love your Nearly Insane blocks......and color ch...I love your Nearly Insane blocks......and color choices. You give me courage in deciding not to do Block 6 of the Soltice quilt. I am such a RULE follower....and that sometimes makes me stop a project when I don't like something and have yet another UFO. However, sometimes if I just wait and see how others have done a block, I can finally love it and finish it.
