Somewhere in there was also St. Patrick's Day, which I didn't blog about but celebrated with corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. I'm still celebrating that with leftovers tonight.
There probably is some other stuff that happened that I am forgetting. Anyway-----
Today is a day off so I am belatedly celebrating Worldwide Quilting Day by working on the Avalon quilt from my last post. After eeny-meeny-miney-moeing a couple of different projects in both Schnibbles books, I decided to make the large version of Lincoln.
Star blocks are done. I am using some Moda Bella solid in Fig Tree Cream for the background.
(P.S. If I had a Moda Bella solid named for me, it would be Gretchen Gray and would be the perfect shade of cool gray with a hint of blue, a hint of lavender, and no pink or taupe or yellow. Similar to Moda Zen Gray but better. Just sayin' in case Mr. Moda is reading.)
I made cutemous little bonus half-square triangles from the trimmed flying geese parts. Adorable. Don't know what I'll do with them but they are in a little baggie ready for a cutemous little project.
The rail-fence blocks are halfway done.
I went searching through my blog to find the small-size Lincoln that I made and found out that it was nearly three years ago that I made that one. How funny.
Here is the post. (note: it's still not quilted and bound.)

Love, Love your Avalon blocks...your Lincoln is going yo be awesome! Oh look at how helpful sweet Remy is...I know you couldn't do that job without his help! LOL!
Hi Gretchen, I LOVE your Avalon blocks and the tiny HST's you made are going to be wonderful in something!!! It's so sad to see quilters just cut and trash those tiny HST pieces as they go...so many 'cutemous' projects could be waiting to jump out and say "ME, ME, ME, make ME" one day when you spread them out an look at them. Okay I've rambled enough, but I can't possibly close without saying how very handsome Remy looks. Great picture of him! He really is a gorgeous kitty and I'm certain he knows it too, LOL. Big Hugs to you, and scratches to all the fur babies...(shhhhh...throw in an extra scratch for the handsome guy in the pic *wink*)
Lovely Avalon looking great in the stars!
Your star blocks look great - lovely fabric too. I look forward to seeing what you do with your leftovers as I have some of my own and have been waiting for inspiration.
