The Squirrel Thing

Trying to understand the "squirrel" thing that bloggers are talking about.
I went to my tidy big sewing room to pull some reds for a valentine something.
This is what I ended up with from a random box under the table.
8 antique pineapple blocks I bought at an antique show maybe 15 years ago.
What to do with 8?  What to do with them?  Thinking I could make a center of some sort.for a table topper.  Blocks are fragile..any ideas.  I do not just want to "collect" any more. I want to make things useful or/give them away.
In that same box, I found another baby Mola from Panama from about 40 some years ago.
I made a mug-rug/potholder from it for a "Thank You" to a friend of mine.
This piece of Civil War fabric made a perfect backing.


I still have not pulled any red fabric for a Valentine top...
Is that what is called "squirreling"???  Going from one thing to another, forgetting the first goal??  Thus, making a clean sewing table into a great big mess!!
Today was such a lazy, sleepy day.
I hope I do not sleep thru the pool class tomorrow.
School back in session.  Grateful.
