My April block goal was 8. (you'll see why I picked this arbitrary number soon) I picked up the dreaded block number 3 and then went in order. But, in absolutely no particular order, here they are:
 |
| 11 Broken Dishes |
 |
| 12 Broken Sugar Bowl - this one is my current favorite |
 |
| 13 Buckwheat |
 |
14 Butterfly at the Crossroads
I worked on fussy cutting this block and I like the outcome. |
 |
| 18 Century of Progress |
 |
3 Basket.
I wanted to hand sew the handle but after two yucky tries I gave up and machine sewed it. |
 |
| 17 Cats & Mice (2) |
 |
| On the left is the do over block without Y seams. On the right is my first try when I tried the Y seam. It was so unappealing to look at, I had to try again. |
 |
| This is why I chose to only do 8 blocks this month. My design wall, aka the back of a super cheap vinyl table cloth. It holds 9 per row and because I did 10 blocks in March, I evened it up with 8 in April. |
I like having all the blocks out to look at when I'm choosing fabrics and tones and colors. I'm trying to not repeat fabric combinations TOO many times. This helps ... a little.
