An Insane Block


This block is terrible and the first block in this quilt that I don't like.

I have used the whole day and the whole evening to get the block right and to the right size, 6 ", and it annoys me that the block in itself is very strange.
Just look at the 9 patch in the middle. The pieces are not of the same size, and that is how the pattern is.
The borders are strange too........

Well, now it is done and I will not worry about it anymore :-)

This is the block with the second most pieces - 181.
I am not looking forward to the most piece intensive block, but it will have to be done very soon. At least it looks good.

6 more blocks to go.

Tomorrow I will take a day off from these block I think.
Time will tell :-)

  6. The whole quilt could have taken its name from this block--I can't believe how many small pieces are in it. Good work!

  9. It will look just fine when it's put together with the others. This must be the "I wonder" block - I wonder what in the world she was thinking when she made this block!

  10. Godt med det som er unnagjort. Hun må ha hatt mye annet å tenke på mens hun sydde originalen ;-)
