Happy Earth Day and a quilt finish...


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!
