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.

Truly insane! But a fantastic finish ...

I'm surprised to didn't cry first, have a tall glass of wine, a good night's sleep before attempting the correction. The mini quilt is amazing. Congrats.

You are far more patient and dedicated to PPing. Congratulations on your finish.

WoW! you have so much more patience that I do. That is one great little mini.

Yes, truly insane but sometimes it is good for us older quilters to try to challenge ourselves once in a while.

Very pretty!!!!!

Just the fact that you DID this is amazing !!! let alone how pretty it is. Kudos!!

wow great job!!!

That mini is great - and a truly insane project. I'd have to be nuts to even attempt one - my hat goes off to you!!!
