First Finish for 2013

I am so glad to have finally finished something!  I worked on piecing up the back, quilting it, and put on the binding all yesterday afternoon.  I really thought I would be able to finish a second one but it wasn't in the cards.  It just takes longer than I think it will. 

This is my first finish for 2013 and one of the quilts I listed on the Q1 finish along.  I quilted it in white Aurifill thread.  I love this thread!  I did free motion squares.  I really like this pattern and had done this on an I Spy quilt last year that I gave away.  The binding was a Dear Stella print that I just bought at the quilt store.  I love that fabric line with the pretty oranges and pinks.

This quilt got a high 5 from the teenager.  He liked the quilting, the binding and the back.  He really is fun to get feedback from and he likes everything I make but definitely and his favorites.  So I will be able to do show and tell and my two meetings this month too. 

Hopefully, I will have another finish soon with the Summerville patchwork.  I managed to make the back and sandwich it.  Now to figure out what to quilt on it. 

I have made progress on the Civil War sampler but that is taking some time for sure!
