Couched Monsters
 

Each monster was made with fabric scraps and individually raw edge appliqued on my longarm and subsequently couched with various bits of yarn. Then framed in a monster/alien/space themed fabric with an added small flanged white border for additional contrast. Each monster was of an unplanned size, so I used a heck of a lot of solid coping strips, also in scrappy fashion, to make everything fit together well. It was certainly a puzzle to figure out! Once sandwiched, each monster received its own background fill. I started the project in 2019. Happy to have it done. Final size is about 80x90. Thanks for looking.

Omg sew cute! I hope you’re keeping it for yourself, we all deserve a little whimsy in life! You did an amazing job.

I like how each monster has its own background fill. You did an amazing job creating your one of a kind work of art! Enjoy!

What a cute quilt. Made me smile.

No longer are these monsters "under the bed"! They have come out.

Your quilt brings a smile to me. This is why a site like QB is so great. We can share and encourage each other to try something different. Thanks for explaining your process with us. Good job!

Quite the process, but wow, a wonderful result. Looks like a ton of joyful work and hope these monsters make an appearance at your home on a daily basis. I would never be able to part with it.

That is a fantastic monster quilt.

Oh dear... These are the most darling monsters I have ever seen! I have an alien blocks one in the works and I just bought another pattern by amy bradley to make. I just can't help myself. I just Love them. I hope the people at the diabetes auction love them too.

What a wonderfully imaginative quilt. If all those monsters once lived in your brain, it is certainly a creative space!

Fabulous! and that quilting is great fun, too!

What a great quilt! I can see it must have been a lot of work to fit the pieces all together. Well done!

Great quilt. What kid wouldn't love that.

Such a fun quilt. Hope you are enjoyed it being done. I like improv quilting even though it certainly takes time. Hope the process was fun.
