I'm not using any certain fabric line for my Insane blocks. Just a variety of blues and some yellow.
I'm taking a short break from applique to work on another one of the 12 projects on my list. Not all of the 12 projects are start from the beginning projects.
This week I finished sewing the rows together, then removed all the papers from the back of the hexies. Since I took this picture, the center has been appliqued to the border fabric. After I finished piecing the rest of the Nearly Insane blocks for this month, she'll be quilted.
I'm catching an eastbound train and traveling to visit my Pennsylvania grands, and, of course, their parents too. I will be gone all week returning home on Sunday the 23rd. There isn't going to be much time for hand work so I'll take along my dishrag knitting.

have fun on your trip. Nice quilt blocks and the hexie baby as well
ReplyDeleteThank you. The hexie crib quilt is marked and pinned, ready to be quilted when I return home.
DeleteLove your blue and yellows
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Nearly Insane pieced in any fabrics but civil war. I like the blues too!
DeleteThose pinks make your hexie quilt so delicate, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I enjoyed making the hexies but now it is time for her to be completed.
DeleteVery pretty hexie quilt! Enjoy your visit with the family.
ReplyDeleteI used pinks I had on hand. I didn't realize I had so many different pinks! The variety makes her look more interesting.
DeleteHave fun on your trip to visit your family! I always try to bring some hand sewing on a car or train trip. Very pretty hexie baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking dishrag knitting along, I think the train is too jerky for needlework.
DeleteEnjoy your trip. The baby quilt is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to enjoy the trip for sure. I don't get to see these grandchildren very often.
DeleteA very pretty hexi quilt, love the soft gentle look! What did you choose for the border fabric?
ReplyDeleteI've used the same fabric that I used in between the flowers. I think the flowers look like they are floating.
DeleteHave a wonderful trip. Your little hexi project is adorable! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYour EPP crib quilt is just darling! I love the pinkness of it, too! Have a blast visiting the grands! (Oh, and their parents, too!!) :)
ReplyDeleteI have the patterns for Nearly Insane - yours is coming along famously. I may never tackle them, they are so small. Love your Hexie baby quilt - so pretty in pink. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink flower garden!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip!
