I didn't know I had it in me...

So I posted pics on Wednesday of the two baby quilts that I'm currently working on.  I said I had planned to finish the one by Saturday (day of the baby shower).  Well, it turns out that Saturday is also the perfect day to have the other one finished!  So, my quilting self is being a little overwhelmed, but it'll be worth it. And I'll just do QALs and knit for a while after this!!

First, a finish:

With the angle it's hard to tell, but this is sideways

Fabric is Pure by Sweetwater

Close-up of the quilting that almost killed me.  I will find
another way to get a neat circular design--this was
absolutely draining.  And there isn't really that much.

Backing, brown and a tan/white gingham

My little label from spoonflower.  I think I need something spunkier!

The other one is still in progress--in fact, I'm taking a break from quilting it right now to post this.  Not going to lie my arms are sore.  Mainly because I chose to back it with the moda snuggles (or cuddles or something cute like that ) which, while soft and snuggly/cuddly, is not very slide-y in the machine, so it takes a lot more effort.  But, I'm doing a flower type pattern all over (that I got [stole] from Flo @ Butterfly Quilting) so it's going to be great.  And it's actually going pretty fast.  Anyways, here is was before I basted it and stuck in in my machine:

Check out that cute duck tape!

Also, yesterday I did the Sew. Happy. Quilt. QAL. blocks for the week.

And, I picked out fabrics for the Sparkle QAL.

Whew.  That's a ton of pics.  I'll be linking up to Finish it up Friday with crazymomquilts and Sew & Tell with amylouwho.  And when the day comes, I'll link to Sew Modern Monday at Canoe Ridge Creations and Manic Monday at Sew Happy Geek.  Happy Friday!
