Insanity Quilt
"Insanity" is my latest long term project to start. It has 10,339 hand pieced 1/2 inch hexagons! It took the original creator, Rhonda Pierce, two years to complete. But this wonder gal from down under also runs a quilt shop and pieces a bazillion other quilts too. It's one of those ultimately satisfying type quilts that I need in my life right. The boys are grown and basically on their own. I find myself on my own more often now, and this is my "i can do it" challenge. I have never hand pieced, so in a way, I feel like I am becoming a real quilter like the gals of yesteryear, and what I call, you real seamstresses.
With Linda Franz's Inklingo, you print stitch lines right on the fabric and piece them on the stitch lines. There are no paper templates and no whip stitch like with English Paper pieced. so far, I love this method.
I plan on journaling my progress, and hope you enjoy it. I created a separate page which has its own tab on the top of my blog. Insanity
My official start date is September 1, 2011. Three done.... here we go.
