2nd Quarter Finishes

I finished up the binding for this badboy in the car on our way to Maine.  I slipped this finish in right before the end of the month.  I am particularly happy with this one, because I love the fun quilting on it.  This is Skill Builder Quilt #2  (all the blocks are from the Skill Builder Sampler Quilt Along)
Here's the back- I've been waiting for something fun to use this fabric.  It's some of my favorite purple fabric.  The quilt is a little wrinkly from being in my suitcase all week, but it's nothing a good wash can't take care of.
 A close up of some of the quilting on the back:
That means that I completed 3 of my 4 quilts that I set as my goal for the 2nd quarter of the 2012 Finish-A-Long.  Original goals here.  Sadly, I didn't even touch my Christmas blocks, but I remembered that I started and finished 3 other quilts during this time frame, so I'm not feeling too shabby right now.  Now to think about the next quarter goal...I really should work on that Christmas quilt because everybody knows the Holidays will be here before you know it.  Besides, aren't there always things about Christmas in July?
