Avatar Quilt
What a great thread, it's been delightful to see all the beautiful quilts that board members have posted. My avatar is a close-up of the quilt I designed for my daughter's first child. I call the quilt, Lil Monkey Face. My daughter wanted a pink and brown quilt with monkeys and she helped pick out some of the fabric. I then drew up the basic monkey blocks and started drawing up different expressions. I added hair bows, bow ties and even big lips and a flower to one monkey just to give them each his/her own personality. My daughter also asked that I put a "Q" on the block for her daughter's name, Quorrah. I also added appliqued flowers to make the quilt girly. I'm working on writing up the pattern for a local quilt shop (who did the beautiful custom machine quilting for me).
