    Default 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.

    How awesome your quilt turned out. I enjoyed reading about your journey on how you constructed it.
    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!

    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.
