I finished this baby quilt last evening. This is, if I wanted to sound really professional, a commissioned project. In reality, I made it for son's lovely girlfriend to give to a friend who is about to have a baby. The request was for greens, yellows and monkeys. The monkeys landed on the back in the form of some lovely brushed cotton. I always forget how much fun it is to quilt a baby quilt! At 33"ish by 44" ish, it took no time at all to quilt.
No pattern to reference as I put this one together myself. It evolved on the design wall until I was happy with it!
Look at how the quilt matches all the green and yellow in the yard today! And the monkeys wanted a picture too.
It was a really lovely day today and the yard is popping with colour. The leaves are still not quite open on the trees but we are so close!
I made a little tag with washing instructions and we are done! And in the spirit of earth day and recycling... I backed my Granny Squares quilt with a vintage sheet!
Linking up with Fabric Tuesday at Quilt Story!
