Well i finished the last one Friday night at 9:00PM. somehow they never are as good as what i picture in my mind!:) I really am fairly pleased with the outcome. my FMQ is never as good as i want, but it's done now and I'm not picking it out. The sock monkey quilt has too much green. I wish i had used a print or another shade of blue and then used the green in a narrow border and the binding. But it's growing on me. the blue/brown quilt ended up with a few wrinkles on the back which are not noticable after washing.:) anywho i like them all and i hope the recipients do too!For those of you who offerred quilting advice for "once in a Blue Moon" i'm sorry that i didn't do fancier quilting on it-i was too chicken!

All of them look great to me. even enjoy the green on the sock monkey. Love the sock monkey embroidery - sweet! As for "quilting police" they are not allowed. We are here to learn, support and make more quilts. Our slight imperfections are character added to make our quilts unique. So carry on and have fun along the way.

There is nothing that I can see wrong with your sock monkey quilt. I think it is adorable. Green is the in color this year from everything I've seen so you're right in the groove. All three quilts are great. Keep up the good work. patti

I know -I'm my own worst critic! :) it just seems like my FMq isn't any better than when I started 10years ago, but I know it must be. I'm really going to try to practice more. And I really do love these quilts.

Sock monkey embroideries came from designsbyjuju.com. I heard about them on this board. They have lots of kids designs.

debcavan 09-26-2011 06:13 PM

They all look so good.

sewmom 09-26-2011 06:31 PM

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I'm so thankful that I finished them a full week before we leave. I had nightmares of being up all night getting them done!

OOOOOOOOHHHHH!! All are nice, but I love "Once in a blue moon." I'm a sucker for drunkard's path variations.
