Two Quilts Ready For Binding

I got two quilts back from my LAQ this past week.
I managed to get them trimmed up and now need to machine sew some binding on.
I am trying really hard to get some things ready to work on while I am home recovering from my surgery.
I think hand sewing will be on the list!

The first quilt is one I have made several times, I really like the pattern.
It is from Evelyn Sloppy's book called 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts.
I made a quilt similar to this one for my DD2's BFF in high school and then one in completely different colors for my in-laws.
I called this the Water Quilt. 
I knew when I made the first one I would make another one for my DD1, who was a swimmer all through high school and into college.

I am totally in love with this quilt. 

It had been with LTW for so long I even forgot what I had used for the back.

I suggested she quilt mermaids on it with bubbles around the outside (in the bubble fabric, LOL). Turns out I was thinking about mermaids when I put the back together! 

Sparkly ones too!!!

Close ups of the quilting

I plan on binding with a blue/green/white stripe fabric I have in my stash.

The second quilt I got back is a Crazy Rail pattern I bought when I was in Madison IN.

I love making this pattern as it is a non-thinking one, just sew! 

This was made using up the small mish mash of left over flannels I had from previous baby quilts. 

I really love how it came out too.

LTW quilted a star pattern on it. Love that too.

I used up some additional baby flannel I had for the back too.

Quilting close up

I am going to search my stash for some binding fabric. 

I'm hoping for some dark purple or maybe some pink. We will see how that ends up.

I hope you are having a wonderful day!
