The Nearly Insane Quilt
I've just recently learned of this. Has anyone made one. Are the blocks paper pieced. Difficultly level about the same as a Dear Jane Quilt?

I found a/the book on Amazon, until somewhere here reports in you might want to read the comments.
https://www.amazon.com/Nearly-Insane.../dp/B002875PTE Good luck and best wishes to you for even considering it. |
I have the book and plan on doing it - but then I love little pieces! I may swap out a few blocks, because I don't want any with less than 20 pieces per block. I think the "worst" block I've done so far was 144 pieces for a 6" block.

Are ! I admit I love a nice big 16" with lots of smaller subunits (not that Ive done very many but a girl can dream) but that many crumbs for only 6".... Girl....you do you. Over there. In the crazy room. |
sounds like a challenge!
But if you know what you are getting into, then go for it! |
That is so confusing. The description in IceBlossom's link says "gives templates and directions" but all the comments say there are no instructions.

There are no real instructions, just full-sized drawings of the blocks. You come up with your own pattern, either pieced or paper pieced. I have made quite a few blocks from Nearly Insane and Just Plain Nuts, both by Liz Lois. Love the challenge... once in a while. Have never made either of the whole quilts. Here's a sampler with blocks from the books.

I have a friend who made it. It is really an amazing quilt and hers is beautiful.. I have not had the energy to tackle it.

Mkotch-Your quilt is very pretty. I don't like working with little pieces but it would be a great challenge for someone else.
