Off to a flying start, I’ve finished the first quilt of 2013 today. It’s been sitting there patiently waiting for a binding, and now it has one. Here it is, all done:
And here’s a closeup to show the binding, (compare to yesterday’s post):
I also washed it and laid it out to dry, as flat as I could get it, backside up:
While I’m showing off my finishes, I might as well show these two as well. I finished them last month, but didn’t get photos until yesterday. First is the horse quilt I worked on all last year (off and on), finally done. It now resides on our couch. (Sorry about the imperfect camera angle.)
And second is Squiggles, which I quilted while following along with Leah Day’s Free Motion Quilting Project. The binding waited until I’d bound the horse quilt. It now hangs on the wall in our guest bathroom.
I haven’t been able to get really good photos lately, especially of the bigger quilts. My usual photo setup is to hang the quilts from the deck railing, but for the last several weeks it has looked more or less like this:
My only option is indoors. I have a couple of photo-lights but they have the wrong bulbs in them. When I went to order better (brighter) ones, they were out of stock. Such is life. Someday I will get good photos!
I have been struggling with where to take pictures lately also. We have a similar pile of snow in the back yard. Love your quilts. Thanks for linking up.

I like your brown and blue quilt. Very nice!
I also really like your tag line. “Ridding the quilt universe of UFOs one finish at a time.” That’s awesome.
