BHQ: April Progress Report

janestarzIn April I sewed 25 flowers for my quilt.
Please excuse the horrible picture quality, I really wanted to wrap this up (haha, get it?) yesterday evening after I got home, and my sewing lamp is apparantly a little difficult to take pictures by.
I love the blue striped flower (top of the picture).
I'm sure you remember my dismay from last month when I found out I had made a duplicate. I decided to rip it up and re-sew it with a different center hexagon. To my further dismay, I found out I re-sewed it as a different duplicate!
I check with the "big pile" (shown on its side in above picture) to see if I'm making a duplicate, but after I've sorted out a few flowers-to-be-sewn, the hexagons are tied together and it's still simple enough to make mistakes. This time I made a mistake because I don't have very many fabrics in red tones for my brown hexagon quilt, and I chose a red fabric I had previously chosen for this fabric as well, but was hidden in a pile.
To be done in May: more sewing of flowers, and again ripping apart a duplicate flower.
Still going strong!
Hexagons wrapped: unknown (I don't know if I want to go and count this) out of an estimated 3375
Flowers made: 140 out of an estimated 375
Top assembly: 29 flowers done (not working on top assembly at the moment)
Also, can someone please remind me what the quilting-website that's like Ravelry is called? It completely slipped my mind and I haven't bookmarked it. You can save projects on it quite like Ravelry, but it's more focused towards sewing crafts than needlework.
