Two Smallish Finishes

I finally took a few minutes yesterday to finish the binding on my "Mug Rug". I really don't like hand stitching binding, so I left the edges raw and just machine stitched it on. I like the way it looks. It'll be perfect for my desk at school.

My second finish is the first block for Blockapalooza. I'm using Spirit by Lila Tueller, the same line I used for my sister's quilt. I liked it so much I bought myself a fat quarter bundle.

I wasn't sure about the block at first, but now that its finished I am very happy with it. I also learned a new (and better) technique for doing flying geese. So easy. Now I can get started on the second block. The second one looks pretty easy, just lots of small pieces.
