Please Help Me Out of A "Pinch"!

Thanks so much for all of the wonderful birthday wishes! I had an amazing day!  My friend Robin really surprised me by decorating my house with balloons, silver stars, and a banner. She even brought over a cake too!  Thanks so much Robin!  We went out to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant with Robin and her family that evening to wrap up a fun birthday.  What an awesome day!

On the quilting scene, I've made some progress with my goals already.  I've found that making a list for the Charming Girls Club has really kept me focused. I completed two Layer Cake blocks and put on the border -finally!- for my State Fair Schnibble.

The State Fair borders are on- Finally!
This quilt is not as wonky as it seems to looks in this picture. I promise!

For the layout of the U Pick Layer Cake block, I ended up going with an entirely different layout than the ones Jovita suggested. I was trying out different options and my son suggested turning the flying geese sideways.  It gave the block a totally different look, so I went with it.  Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can make all of the difference!

U Pick is the name of this block by Jovita's Patchwork. 

 My son and I chose a different layout.

This and That Block Designed by Mary Anne Ciccotelli.

Tonight I'm doing some cutting so I have a project or two to take to the dinner at my LQS tomorrow night.  The dish we bring is supposed to be green to celebrate St. Patricks Day. Do you have any great green recipe ideas for me? I'd appreciate any suggestions. I'm running out of time!
