Default Insanity Mini

I enjoyed seeing the Mini Pineapple so much from LyndaOH that I remembered that I made a crazy mini about a year ago that almost drove me to the very edge of insanity. While making the bed one morning I got the brilliant idea to make the same quilt "Mosaic Memories" which I made about 10 years ago in miniature. I even had many of the fabric scraps from that quilt in my stash. After many starts and stops I finally thought I had it finished, but you all know that after looking at something so closely for days and months you really cannot see it clearly. My DH came in as I was putting the blocks together, looked at it, and frowned. I knew immediately that something was very wrong and he either didn't want to say it, or just wasn't sure what he was looking at. I said, "tell me what you are seeing!!!" In one block I had done the color progression wrong and when he showed me...it was glaring. I ripped it out and went back to work. What a nightmare! Each little square measures 3/8" and I used PPing and strip method to make each block. The whole thing measures 21". Not exactly to scale, but quite a feat. I "think" I had fun doing this?!? The pattern for Mosaic Memories is still available on the web.
