I just finished a quilt for my great niece. It was from Quiltmaker magazine, and the minute I saw it, I knew exactly who to make it for. Those monkeys were just so darned cute! Here are a couple of pics if you'd like to take a look:

How wonderful! Louise, what fabric did you use for the monkeys? Looks like something that precious baby girl will enjoy touching and I'm wondering if it was hard/easy to appliqué. Polly
The monkeys were made from flannel (except for the eyes, which were plain ol' cotton). I'm not a huge applique fan, and when I finished the first one, I was really having second thoughts about continuing. Each one got easier, though, and I ended up being pretty happy with them by the time I was done. I just hope the little one enjoys it half as much as she does her Tumbling Monkeys book!

What a fabulous little quilt. Such cute, fun little monkeys. As you said, just right for 'someone you know' - we've probably all got someone who should have a quilt like that >gg< It can't fail to raise a smile or three! . In message , Louise in Iowa writes
So cute, your great niece is very lucky.

This is really cute. My 4 year old has been admiring it with me. The quilting is inspiring me to become a real quilter.

You're right, Louise -- that's so darned cute! Your great-niece will adore it, I'm sure. :)
