This is my first finished quilt. I took a quilting class at my LQS this summer and have a top ready to finish from that. The pillow case is an easy peasy one that has a band, accent, and main body piece. Thanks for the great help I've had on this board! I have 5 other projects started so ... I'll be back!

This quilt is for my grandboy's toddler bed. (It's on a twin at my house while he's visiting. He'll take it home with him tomorrow.) The plan is to add a border when he moves to a twin bed. We'll see how it holds up by then!

Very cute quilt and a sweet little boy. I love those pillowcases too and make them to store my quilts in.

Storing your quilts - that's an awesome idea! The case is so easy to make and if you made it from leftover fabric would show you exactly what is inside. I'm stealing that idea. (oops - gotta make some quilts first!)

Forgot to say - it's flannel. I found that hard to work with and should have searched this board for flannel BEFORE I started the quilt!

And yes - the blue-eyed monkey is absolutely adorable - thank you all for noticing! Not that I'm at all prejudiced! Now I need to start one for his cousin - equally adorable, of course! (His dad just isn't as brave to ask for things as this one's mom is....)
