Monkey Business!




 I made this quilt for my daughter, Grace, who is expecting a boy in August! (#12 for the Toblers!) I fell in love with the monkeys (Brother and Sister Design Studio) and then fell in love with the "dot to dot" (School Days by American Jane). It just makes you want to get a marker and go to town on it. The border is "Flag Day Farm by Polly Minick & Lauri Simpson. I got the red at Hobby Lobby.

I quilted it on the machine with a wavy stitch... much easier to maneuver than the "stitch in the ditch".

I love it! I will have to go to Idaho often to see it.

  4. So cute!!
    And it smells so nice!!! Jason loved it, too.
    I really like the last sentence about going to Idaho frequently to see it!! :) But I think the baby might be a bigger draw than the blanket.
