Monkeying around

I made this quilt for a friend's son who's turning one soon. It went together super fast and I just think it's the cutest thing. I used fleece for the back..and I'm sooo in love with the look of the quilted fleece that I just might use fleece for all my backs from now on.

L's quilt...DONE

Last month I finished the quilt for my niece. When she saw it, she smiled so big, like should couldn't believe it was really for her. She told my husband the quilt wasn't a present...it was a surprise.

Below are some photos of the quilt...I had the most fun quilting it. I quilted it at home on my domestic machine, and I used a different pattern in each square. It took a long time to finish the entire thing..but since I love the actual quilting part the best..I enjoyed every minute of it. And L's smile...that made all the hours worth it.

This is how the quilt looks on a twin sized bed.

I made it bigger than the bed so that it would hang over the edges.
