this one is for Eileen and is actually the APRIL block. Eileen provided two tutorials

I’ve had the film in the fridge one bookmarked for a long time (on my someday list) so I felt fairly comfortable with this block. Except these ladies work the half square from left to right – or is it right to left? For some reason I had to work mine from the middle out to the edges…
I ended up in the ER after my last post with some intense neck pain, dizziness, tingly sensation in my face and numbness all down my left side. scary! stress-related which has to do with my 9 to 5 and not much worth talking about here – this is my FUN place. although, the neck pain persisted for nearly a month and made sewing impossible and one of the things I did to help alleviate the pain and my stress was to get more serious about exercising – which is probably something all of us sewers could benefit from. Have y’all seen the Prancersize lady? maybe one of us could come up with a Sewersize workout??? :-)
Special thanks to the Sew Buzzy ladies who haven’t added to my stress at all despite my being so behind in blocks. :-) Hope this block fits into Eileen’s quilt smoothly. The points aren’t perfect and there’s a little bulk in the center, but I think I did a fairly good job of it. Now I’m off to see how much I can get done for Lindsay today…
