Lincoln Museum Quilt

I'm slowly getting the Lincoln Museum quilt blocks put together.  I used them as a leader/ender of sorts while working on the quilt for Diane's blog hop book quilt. I won the pattern and a box of plaids from Barbara Brackman. I am hoping to get the quilt completed and it can make the rounds with my guild lecture this year- "Reruns, Quilts Inspired by the Past."
BTW, I'm available! Contact me if you are interested in having me speak at your guild.

Here's Barbara's version of the story:

About ten years ago Deb Rowden and I wrote to the Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield, Illinois, telling them that the vintage quilt covering young Abe Lincoln's parents’ bed in the cabin exhibit was an anachronism---vintage, but the wrong vintage.

We were thrilled when they took us up on our offer to make a reproduction quilt more in keeping with the time period. We made a quilt for the bed there.

 You can read more about it HERE. 
And if you'd like the pattern it is available as a download. HERE.

    I'd forgotten you were making this. I have the pattern, too. It is one of those "someday" quilts for me, that may never happen. I do love it in the cozy plaids.

    You were the perfect person to have won this fabric kit! Your blocks are beautiful. Are you using homespuns as part of the mix?

    I never met a homespun plaid quilt that I didn't love. This one is no exception!

    There's just something about working with plaids. They just seem to generate love.:)
