Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 74

Nearly Insane Quilt, Block 74

What a difference a week makes.  After all that lovely sewing time of the holidays, I am now back at work, struggling to get just a bit of sewing done on my Nearly Insane blocks in my spare time.  Even finding time to blog seems difficult.  Anyway, here is Block 74.  I actually finished it on Day 12 of my sewing marathon, but only now have had time to take a picture in the daylight and note down the details.  This was a relatively simple block, with some pretty pinwheels, and I always like to add stripes.

Here is a reminder that I am making these blocks using the English paper piecing method.  This is a view of the back, and you will see that I baste through the paper and I will keep all the paper in until I have at least added the sashing pieces to each block.  I know there are different ways of doing this - this method works for me.

I am currently working away at block 22.  It has lots of flying geese in it and has over 100 pieces in it, but I don't have much more to do.

Also the Nearly Insane plan on my sidebar has been updated, and is a reminder that I am approaching the year anniversary on 16th February 2014.
