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!

Nice quilt! And what a Precious little one you have!!!!

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!)

Cute quilt, and adorable quilt inspector!!!

Oh how darling! Oh & the quilt is really nice too!

Cute quilt and your grandson is adorable.

Cute quilt and adorable little boy!

that precious little monkey is a doll!

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....)

Very nice! Grandboy likes it, too. He's a cutie.

They are both keepers!

what a great combination, a beautiful child on a beautiful quilt...he looks like he could come right out of the picture and give someone a hug...

From his smile it is a winner. Nice job

Cute quilt for an adorable boy! :)

It is nice, and I like the matching pillowcase too........calla/Sue

What a cutie ... and the quilt is cute, too! He will certainly love cuddling up in this beautiful quilt you made just for him!

Love the quilt, love the name you gave it, and your little grandson is just too precious for words!! :lol: :wink:

Gorgeous twosome

I LOVE your monkey!

Cute quilt for such an adorable little boy!!!!

As I was folding the quilt to put it with his going home bag he put his head on it and said, "Love my monkeys!" Then when he got home he didn't want to take a nap without them - and his toddler bed is still in the garage waiting for them to put up his crib! For this beginner quilter this is what it's all about. My skill level matches the blind eye the recepients will use to look at my treasures. Knowing that my loving hands had touched every inch of that quilt - many times - just does something for me. The pouring of ME into that fabric turned my lowly offering into something wonderful. The binding is an absolute mess - but on there very securely! I wish I'd used deeper seams and hope, hope, hope it won't pull apart when it's washed, but ... Grammy Love is all over that thing!

Thanks for sharing in my first step into this world.

Tell the MAMA Monkey not to dry it in the dryer. Just hang dry & that will help keep it from pulling apart.

The Love part is what he will remember!

Very cute, the quilt & the darling little boy! The little people in our lives make us feel so good about what we do, eh?

Bev - I told Mama Monkey to wash in cold and hang to dry. AND to bring it back for any restitching that's needed! By the time this one wears out - and he's outgrown the monkey stage - I should be skilled enough to make one that won't need delicate care! I'm starting a Warm Wishes pattern for his cousin - with cottons, not flannels, and more skills from the get-go.

That'll do it! I bet it last along time.

SO CUTE, all pictured.

Loven the Monkeys and cute GB!! BEE PROUD! :thumbup:
