Quilting Finishes- 2013 (So far)

So it's not that I don't think about blogging....it's just between work, family and other creative pursuits I just haven't had time.  June was very busy with birthdays (mine, Jesse's and Daniel's) plus a baby shower for my brother and his wife and father's day, the month just blew by!

I have gotten busy with quilting again and wanted to share some of my finishes for 2013. 

I call this a filmstrip quilt.  I bought the kit at a store in Golden and I love the fabric!  When I got it finished I just couldn't bear to give it away so it's still at home.  Who knows maybe someday I'll be able to use it for a little girl :)  This is the first quilt I've made with a traditional binding.

I made this quilt for my brother's baby.  She's going to be born toward the end of August and they had a baby shower the first weekend in June.  I was just barely able to finish in time but I think it turned out well.  This is my first crack at triangles. 

This was another quilt for a baby.  A friend at work is due at the end of August with a little boy named Kaiden.  I did applique for the letters.  I learn something new with each quilt and this one I learned about lining things up.  I can see a few little errors but I'm not telling :)
