I just love these darn monsters! They are so bright and cheery that they just make me smile.

There are 3 pictures - top half of quilt; bottom half; and then the whole top with the sashings.

I am planning on a small (2" maybe) black border around the outside. Then a wider border ( 4" - 5") made out of strips of scraps from all the fabrics in the quilt. Binding will be black.

Can't decide what to do with the back. I don't have enough of any one fabric from the quilt to use as backing so I'm thinking big squares or rectangles of fabrics that are in the quilt - a pieced backing. There is an extra monster block that will go on the back plus the label.

Hope everyone has a lovely quilty day.

(The first two photos ran together when they posted. Not sure why. I should have trimmed the photos off first also. There are 5 blocks in each section for a total of ten. Disregard the extra parts please.)
Your monsters are just TOO CUTE! You've done a wonderful job. Please post again when you've finished!!! Thank you for sharing.

I'm awed every day at the beauty that I see created here, and always totally amazed at the talent. Thanks so much for sharing. It's awesome!
I agree with Cindy - did you applique the monsters??

Love your monsters. Love your fabric choices. Love your color placements. That quilt deserves to be seen in a show. Wrestle it out of your daughters grip and enter it!
