The last of Decembers Nearly Insane blocks

Block 71

Block 82

Monica from Italy

Monica is a new member with the 6" swap. 

She was my 2nd partner this month. 

Monica wanted any star block & in any colour.

The choice is endless.

Pretty pink.

This is also the colour over at So Scrappy this month. So at least I have joined in with PINK

Good Night Irene's February blocks done

I have now done the next 5 blocks for my quilt.

I decided to do all 16 patch blocks this time.

I have not made a true scrappy quilt so this is the first one. Yes, these are just scrap pieces of fabric cut into 2 1/2" squares.

My quilt so far.

Have a look at Terry's Treasures on the side bar to see who has linked up and look at what progress they are making.

Decembers Nearly Insane blocks

I have kept working on these blocks. I am still a long way off from catching up.

I will get there.

Here is BLOCK 20

And BLOCK 30

Red & White blocks for Kate

Kate is one of my partners for this month in the 6" swap. 

She wanted any block in red and white.

I hope these fit the bill.

More Nearly Insane

Here are my finished November blocks.

There are a few ladies from the quilt group I am in doing this quilt. Each month 4 blocks are chosen and we are supposed to keep up. I had fallen way behind. But I am trying.

BLOCK 27

I had a bit of trouble and my thread should have been darker. Oh well at least the block is done.

"Y" seams.... mmmmm!!!!!!

Then I did BLOCK 6

And lastly for that months needed was BLOCK 40

Knitting face washers & dishcloths

I bought some fancy yarn called "GIGGLES". So I decided to make a face washer. They are also used as dishcloths. The are quite thick and wash well.

If they last a while I might make some more for gifts.

I found the pattern over in Pinterest

Sewing with scraps

Another day sewing " Goodnight Irene " blocks.

While I was using up some more scraps I was also working on my " Nearly Insane " blocks.

BLOCK No.. 60 of Nearly Insane Quilt

Sent to my partner

These are a close up of what I sent my partner in the Initial Heart Swap

It's a bit hard to see the initials but there is a row of them that I did on the machine.

Then I put Initial beads on this fob.

Hope my partner likes them

  Clink on the link to see all the gifts I sent My heart gifts

Fiona's 12" block

I have sewn another 12" block and sent it on its way up to Queensland.

Fiona requested a Rail Fence block in pastels.

Hope this fits the bill. I really like the colours & fabrics.

Quilting Block Swaps Australia is keeping busy with lots of posts of new blocks done.

What a way to get a quilt done without doing the same blocks all the time.
