I just gave birth to Shrek

Well sort of, I was asked to make a minkee quilt with Shrek on it. When my new niece was born last summer, I made her a pink Minkee quilt. It became the coveted quilt among her older sister's peers (2 year olds). One of her little boy cousins wanted a Minkee blanket too, but with Shrek on it.



I searched high and low locally but had no luck finding anything Shrek related at all. I finally found a Shrek and Donkey panel online. As it wasn't large enough, I added Minkee borders all around and stitched it to a Minkee back and "birthed" it for quick finishing.



It came out cute, but I can't imagine cuddling up with that ugly green face, yuck!

Good for you, Denise. I can understand the need for Shrek but would have been truly challenged to figure a way to turn Minkee into that (apparently) very special monster. How bright you were to use a panel bordered and backed with Minkee. Atta girl. 300 extra points and a gold star or two. Yee ha. I found some Shrek Band-Aids for DD's stocking. I figured she would need them sooner or later for her little guys. Polly
