I've run fresh out of April

Apparently May has crept up on me and flipped the page on the calendar, so I'll have to wrap up the April blues and get onto the next RSC color.

Half a dozen Antique Tiles came into being in the second half of the month,





as well as another Cake Stand.


Then I gathered April's Chips together for their class photo.

I'm trying to decide if I'm superstitious or not about there being 13 of the little gems...

And then there were the Glitters.  Lots and lots of Glitters.




At last count (which I think is accurate) (well, which I hope is accurate) (or if it is inaccurate, at least let it be in my favor) I have 132 blocks done out of 152 needed.  There are a dozen more blocks kitted out next to my sewing machine, so I only have eight more to cut out.  (If, etc, etc, see above)  This project has officially moved from the Endless category into the End Is In Sight category.  Huzzah!

Of course, now I have to just buckle down and finish - and hope I don't suffer any sneak attacks by squirrels...


Linking with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday and with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!  Come see what fun everyone is up to!

    Love those Antique Tile blocks, Gayle! They're going to make a great design. You're getting close on the Glitter blocks, too. I'll enjoy seeing what happens with them!

    I really like the Antique Tile blocks, but the Glitter Blocks make me weak in the knees. They are amazing.

    You are doing an amazing job making lots of different blocks. I love the squirrel pic and the comment. I agree -- I don't want any squirrel attacks.

    Squirrels are hard to hide from. At least you made a lot of progress on your current projects. Your blocks are lovely. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

    Fun squirrel graphic! Sneak attacks indeed. I've been working to strengthen my squirrel resistance barriers by deleting my Instagram account and working to combine and/or simplify existing projects so as to regain more forward momentum (instead of stirring and plotting and planning and such). You got a LOT done!!

    Wow, you have been busy!! Gorgeous little squirrel, he seems to be jumping for joy, probably at all your projects and especially the number of Glitter blocks you've completed.

    My favorite blocks continue to be the Cake Stands...are you getting close to enough blocks for a quilt?

    At what point does a squirrel project become something else, like a nut buried in the soil forgotten. Asking for a friend.
