This is a 10" block. The plan is that it is to be a 12" block. At the moment there are 100 little squares in there. When it grows to 12" there will be 144 squares in the block.
I am not making it for myself. This block and it's partner in crime are for a lovely bloggy friend
The partner in crime is a 6" block at the moment. It too will be a 12" block, once I finish the applique, and decide just how I will make it grow.
I am LOVING making these blocks! Does that make me a little bit insane?
Some of you have been asking how Murphy is. Here he is observing his Mum's insanity. He's back to his normal bouncy, happy, daft self again. I caught him eating more stones the other day. I think he's a bit insane too! :)
Just in case anybody is interested, the lovely Sarah from Narcoleptic in a Cupboard is hosting a Japanese Charm swap. If you fancy joining in all the details are here.
Now I'm off to make a quick cuppa and get back to the applique. My little table doesn't look right without a cup of tea on it :)
Happy Wednesday

Oh, I love your blocks! I don't think you're at all batty - quite normal, in fact *wink*
ReplyDeleteP.S. Murphy is so cute, please tickle the tops of his ears for me!
Fabulous!!! And I love your Murphy - I have an Abbie English Springer Spaniel - I'm very happy she does NOT eat stones, (that I know of!)
ReplyDeleteaww, Murphy is getting so grown up! He's lovely!!! (and so are your crazy blocks!)
ReplyDeleteInsane just about covers it :) Look how well behaved Murphy is, sitting all proper and attentive. thanks for the heads up on the swap -
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! but maybe just a little insane!!
ReplyDeleteTea is VERY important. Love the blokcs, but possibly just a little insane! Juliex
ReplyDeleteAhh, now I know I can say I knew you the day you lost your mind... ;o) Still, it all looks fab! Murphy's looking disconcertingly still, how heavy were those stones?!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are lovely, especially the splash of strong pink in the applique.
ReplyDeleteYou're officially a full nutter. 144 pieces in one block? Crazy lady! I see where Murphy gets it :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks! Are they for Jan?
ReplyDeleteOh..... am a little in love with that 1" squares block.... And isnt Murphles getting big! He's looking rather like the last dog auntie had too, Cass :-)
ReplyDeleteI definitely fear for your sanity but can imagine the feeling of satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteFabulous blocks Fiona! No, you are not insane! I like to think, when we tackle these sorts of projects, we are liking, or even loving, the challenge!
ReplyDeleteAt least Murphy fits right in with all the nutters! Love those blocks! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, and sometimes it's good to have something like to concentrate on and 'block' out everything else.... :-) Murphy looks great too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed making these blocks for me! It was an extra surprise coming back from holiday and realising these were for me! Looks like Murphy did a bit of supervising :-)
