This afternoon I finished my Nearly Insane quilt !!These blocks are 6" and the whole quilt is 98 blocks, with 2 half blocks counted as 1.
The quilt is machine quilted by Catherine Timms in Ontario, Canada. She does lovely work, as you see.
I had the pleasure of bringing the quilt home from Canada a month ago.
My beloved grand-cat offered her expertise in quilt inspection when I did the last inches of the binding :-)
What is next ?
Civil War Diary blocks, Dear Jane blocks in blue and brown, Dear Jane stitchery......
Never a dull moment here in my sewing corner :-)
That is absolutely gorgeous!! I have enjoyed watching you progress on this quilt and now, finally share in your completion. Congrats on finishing such a difficult quilt.

ReplyDeleteOh my, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is drop-dead gorgeous! I'm working on a Dear Jane quilt and this has me wishing I had done it in one color. I like the spots of color where the sashing pieces meet. I might use your idea. Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteHanne, your red and white quilt is stunning, lovely job! Sharyn
ReplyDeleteOh WOW most quilters would never attempt something so complex - what a grand accomplishment! Hane, you should be so proud! I hope you make a quilt label for it telling of its journey - and that you made it so that future generations will know of the quilt’s history! ;)
ReplyDeleteI especially love the red and white colors together..... most dear Jane’s that I see these days are too busy with so many colors. I like yours best! Oh, Hane, I think it should be featured in a quilt magazine! :)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Stunning! Love that it's all 2 colors.
ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt. Make sure you cat takes care of it!
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a beautiful quilt. I love the name Nearly Insane. I had not heard of this quilt before. I just love the red and white. I'm sure if I pieced all of those peices I would be insane!
