I figure that is up to me . ..so my day's efforts included:
Counting & some extra cutting of Novelty 5" blocks and the necessary number of half blocks.
Cutting and cutting 5" French General and FG-like blocks and the necessary number of half blocks.
Darn - there are only 170 good ones and 10 "sort of OK" ones. I need 200 . . . hunting....hunting...
These are in preparation for an upcoming retreat...getting some charity work organsied . . .hopefully a few will do some charity sewing....
Then it was some "me" time....I am sitting & waiting for this week's FPP block, so in the meantime I thought I'd whip up this Kiwi block. This is actually my Chookshed Challenge #5 project, so I will do a separate post later....but he turned out kinda cute.

Thanks, Cheryll for hosting us again.
I hope everyone had some "me" time and was able to craft a bit.

Oh nice job with all that cutting! Bugger about being 20 short ….. I’d be very tempted to just grab a couple of fat quarters lol
The Kiwi bird …..I’m hoping I saved that pattern somewhere ….maybe my emails??? I’m meant to be doing them and the other birds as my number 5 apparently
That was a lot of cutting! The little bird turned out well. Enjoy your second day of stitching. xx
I have started my kiwi blocks too. Done in pink for a baby quilt. Good planning for your retreat.
That's what I need to do ,have a cutting day all day lol great progress!

Love your Kiwi block! So sweet! Retreats are so much fun although there is a lot of preparation required before attending. I hope you have a great time.
