2013 status

I switched to Google chrome to see if I could embed photos...and it worked. So, here's the first of two posts I had in drafts... maybe I can get back on track with keeping my blog up to date!!!

First, I had one last quilt finish for 2013. It's a double sided quilt...well, I pieced a top that I didn't like...and then I pieced another top...and I thought I could use the two together... It's funny as I like the one side and my husband likes the side I didn't... This is the granny square quilt. here's the front:

and here's the back...

Then, this year I've only worked on two quilts so far. One is a baby quilt for a BFF's new grandson. They requested minions... so here it is... front

and back...

I bought four fat quarters from Spoonflower. Three of them were perfect for the front. The fourth was a little too large for my pattern, so I put it on the back. Really, it looks like a two sided quilt...right?

As usual for baby quilts, I bound it with satin blanket binding. I do a 1/2 inch seam on the front and then wrap to the back and hand finish... My kids loved satin bindings...so I think all kids do.

Finally working? Minion Baby Quilt

If this posts, I've solved my picture uploading problem...
