I finally got this finished. For some reason, as much as I enjoyed designing and creating this quilt, I just could NOT get into quilting it... and I'm afraid it shows. But it is finished except for the binding, and when I get that on, I plan to donate it when I find a small child in need of a hug.

The embroidery designs came from here:

The layout is my own.

I am going to make another of these one day, when I think I can get in the mood to quilt it!

This is gorgeous. Somewhere out there is a very lucky child waiting to love it.

Wonderful quilt, who wouldn't want to play pirates now!

Your quilt is amazing, very inviting.

That's beautiful!!! I love monkeys, toucans, and pirates.

Just visit a local childrens home or hospital, you'll find so many children that need hugs you won't have time to make quilts for all of them. Have you considered donating it for a fund raiser for the pediatrics ward of a hospital or for something for a childrens' home? Just a thought.

Its wonderful :thumbup:

I love this little quilt!!!! It's so cheerful!!!! As far as the quilting is concerned..........if that's your "I could just NOT get into quilting it" skill, I can't even begin to imagine what your "real" skill would look like!!!!! :shock: Your quilt and quilting are lovely!! :thumbup:

That is a great quilt, and the quilting is perfect.

That is one beautiful quilt....I wish I was a child who needed a hug...wow is all I can say.....
I do have one question, what machine do you have that does such a big embroidery....

I love it and the vivid colors. I can't imagine anyone not liking it :)

A fantastic quilt and as for the quilting! Well, on my BEST days I couldn't do such a great job - you have nothing to complain about.

That is such a fun quilt! You did a great job all around on it. The embroidery designs you used were just perfect :)

I am trying to figure out what you do not like about this quilt. I love every inch!

That is so playfully wonderful! And your quilting is awesome! What a lovely "Hug"!

That quilt is adorable. I love monkeys.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it. I am torn between taking it to our local hospital and letting the staff choose a child for it, or locating a child within the community in need. I'd rather do the hospital, only what about the other kids who would see? I can't make everyone one, so I'm really torn on how to decide!

Oh, it's beautiful and I just love it.

This is cute as can be - some child will adore it.

That's darling. The recipient will love it.

Looks good from my point of view. Great little quilt.

What a wonderful, joyous quilt for a child to love!
