After making the blocks for the Avalon quilt, I set them aside to make block #10 of the Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Quilt and decided I might as well get blocks 1-9 sewn together.
I changed the flying geese setting by alternating the direction of the strips and adding a few different prints. This is such a cheery quilt. I can't wait to finish it up. Two more months.I finished a couple of little projects that were floating around my sewing table.
One of my favorite quilt shops to visit in Michigan is Guildcrafters in Berkeley. They have a great selection of fabrics and wool, wonderful kits, and a series of irresistible little pincushion kits. I bought this pincushion kit some time ago and I don't know why I didn't make it sooner because it was done in a flash.
I also made this little card holder that came with the February issue of Mollie Makes. I couldn't resist this issue with the little fox and raccoon.
Edgar Poe looks like he was meditating. Maybe he is thinking of more new quilt projects like I am.
Probably not.
Probably dreaming of kitty treats and yogurt.
Hope you have a great weekend. It's supposed to be chilly and rainy here all weekend.

Wow....you get a lot done when you have a day of sewing. Love the Avalon quilt. Guildcrafters is my fav quilt shop, too.
I used to live in Michigan and loved Guildcrafters. Thanks for bringing to mind some happy memories.
Your Fat Quarter BOM quilt is looking great! Love the dog bone pin cushion...look at sweet Edgar Poe! Happy Easter!
That FQS Mystery Quilt is beautiful. The setting is perfect for those blocks. I agree, very cheery!
