Pictures of Sock Monkey quilt

I finished one of the two baby quilts I am making for my nephew and his wife, who are expecting in October.

The first one uses the same pattern my mother always used to make her quilts - she never wanted to get fancy on the piecing, she just liked picking out pretty fabrics! She passed away about three years ago, so I wanted to make a quilt "from" her for her first great-grandchild:

My nephew still has the sock monkey his grandmother made him when he was a baby - that boy keeps everything!

I'm working on the second one, will post photos when it is done.

Louise, thanks - I looked at your albums, and your work is BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE bright, bold colors, and you really have an eye.

Wonderful quilt, Tina. Baby's going to cherish it. Your Mom was right; no need for fancy patterns when a little one's going to just love it to pieces. Those Sock Monkey fabrics are such a smile. Polly

I just noticed that in the last picture, QI #2 is working his way under the side of the quilt, while QI #1 is sitting there, acting like she has no intention of walking all over this quilt.

They did approve this quilt, BTW. It has passed a full inspection.

Thanks for the compliment, but a couple of those were made by our own Polly Esther. Talk about an eye for color - that lady has it!

Big thank yous, Louise. The Noel quilt for DH gets heaps of praise and it looks so wonderful turned back. The backing you chose and your quilting are very lovely. We're mighty proud of it. Meanwhile, . . . back to baby quilts, I've just received a cat panel from Bradenton Quilts in Florida. It is an adorable set of blocks that are so cute all I've done with it is post it on the design wall to enjoy, Curious Kitties by Robert Kaufman. Take a look somewhere when you have time. And I did notice that Tina's QIs had taken their duties seriously. Polly

"Louise" Thanks for the compliment, but a couple of those were made by our own Polly

I saw the "Curious Kitties" in the Hancock's catalog that just arrived

- don't you love the one that looks like a stripe, where the kittens are all peeping over the edge?

Thanks, Sandy, that was for a 14-year old second cousin who had to have an extremely wicked surgery to correct scoliosis. I got the most teeny bop looking fabrics I could find, and then again, just used a simple pattern to let the fabrics SHOUT for themselves.
