I'm just a tad late to Alycia's party but I do have finishes. I even sewed the binding back by hand as Baby Brother is still at the spa!
Here is finish #1: my version of Jordan Fabrics' Jagged X. I changed the border a wee bit so it finishes just under 60 inches. Our guild long armers no longer wish to quilt pro-bono quilts that are over 60 inches long. (looks like I was standing off center for this one. :( )
Finish #2 is my Missouri Star Quilt Company Summer Camp. A little bit of wrong sewing and not wanting to rip out the horizontal row led to a design opportunity. Two small circles instead of one big circle. I went into my box of unloved 2.5 inch cut strips and pulled colors from the warm side of the color wheel (and a few from the cool side snuck in!). Next time I make this, I'm going to use a darker contrast (think black or navy) where the light blue is placed. The circle design will track better and stand out. I went for a scrappy pink binding, too.
