5. Make 10 string blocks - Actually made 20 - so April is done too.
6. Finish prepping applique block - Edyta Sitar's Botanical Bounty - not done. only have stems and 1  leaf done.

Disappearing 9-Patch
The disappearing 9-patch was to be my NewFO for January, but I didn't get my blocks from our exchange group until Feb.  Then I actually didn't get started on this until March at my retreat, so I'm going to link up with Cat Patches March NewFO linky for March.  

This brings me up-to-date on my GID, I hope.  I plan to be busy quilting a few other tops that were donated to help the hand quilters get them all finished by our deadline.

  6. Nice progress and finishes. You've inspired me to get going today though it's hubby's birthday and he loves a Lemon Meringe Pie made from scratch so alot of time will be spent in the kitchen. Perhaps after the celebration a pillow case could be manageable or one more 10 minute block that takes 30 minutes at least! we'll see. lol Jane
