Good advice, Terri!! Your blocks look great!

Do not get behind on the blocks of the month!

Whew! I got March and April done this month. I enjoy it more when I can focus on just one block. I plan on not getting behind, I can see where it would get overwhelming if one is several months behind.

Everyone"s April block looks wonderful. It sure is fun to see the variety.

LOL, Ann, you are so cute I found myself hunting you down like a scavenger hunt. You keep on keepin' on, girl
Aren't we (ok, I) pitiful? I didn't know I was such a forum junkie until someone took away my "fix". :shock:
Love to see everyone again.

I got my April blocks finished and posted in my Member blog during the forum's recent illness. Thanks to all of you who posted comments. I think I am having BOM withdrawal now because I was working so hard to keep up and now have a couple of weeks before the next one is posted. Oh well time for some other projects.

Thanks Margo for putting all the blocks in your webpage. It really helps to have one place to look and see all of them for each month at once.

Everybody's blocks are great. Ritzy I really love yours. Your colors are so vibrant. Wonderful choices.

And even Dana posted hers that some of her friends laughed at- If she decides to give it away I have told her I want it, I think it is great.

Well as you can tell Sue and her unique blocks are even getting me to like applique wonder of all wonders!

That's what I did. One of the vases is really wide. I am going to make all those darn circles ahead of time too.

This evening I have been prepping my pieces for the April block. I also noticed that the next month has a background star and was thinking the same thing about getting started on that ahead of time. Of course I can plan ahead all I want but will be lucky to get the April block done before the end of the month. I will take it with me but I leave tomorrow for a business trip up to Wichita Falls, TX and Altus, OK. I will be back next Friday. Hopefully I will get some time to work on my April BOM.

I think that because the vases are all shaped a little different it would be a good idea to make all of the star points complete triangles to be sure they are big enough. That way the background star can be done before the pattern is posted.

Are we anxious or WHAT!!!

Judy, that's a great idea. I think I'll do the same...then the star part will be done. Actually, we can go ahead and applique the star to the background...can't we????

Smart girl!!! That's a great idea!

Have you noticed that the star in the background of several blocks is the same? I have started on the star so when the first of May comes I'll be part way there.

Nancy and Bonny, your blocks are beautiful! I have my April block ready to start--I've been going back and forth as to which fabric I want to use for my basket. I think I know now and am going to get started tonight! I vote that April looks alot easier than March was.

I agree Bonny, ur block is tres Bonne!

Thank you ladies--I think this block was the easiest so far. I am looking forward to the tulip one! I think that one looks really easy.
