Well, once I got my roars of laughter over "Pointless" down to a low chuckle, I decided I had some time to do some work before group.
I'm taking my neutral (yellow) squares and 4-patches and putting them together first. They do not go all the same way, they need to be pairs of mirror images. Red top corner for half, and Blue top corner for the other half.
I've used up all my pre-cut yellows, discarding the lightest of them, but that's easy to cut more, I've kept the pile of yellows on top next to the pile of my newly defined "Parakeet". I've got just enough time to sew and press them before group, leaving me all possible pins for working on the border. I think this is a good way to get me to stop groaning and just do it, it won't be too bad really and I won't be able to start any new projects until I free my pins from this border.
