TGIFF - A Lil Monster Quilt!

It's a Friday of sorts Saturday finish!  The quilting was finished last night with the binding being hand sewn on this morning.

A coworker asked me a couple of weeks ago to please make a quilt for her niece.  She needed it for the shower today.  She apologized for the short notice, but I assured her I would get it done.  Can you say, "just barely?"  I totally do this to myself.  Do you ever say "yes" when the word really needs to be "no"?  Thought so.  But I digress...

Her niece has done the baby boy's room in a cute lil monster theme.  I searched on the internet and found these adorable fabrics (perfect!) on etsy.  The fabric line is Monster Mash by Heather Rosas for Camelot Fabrics.  There were nine different fabrics, so I went with a scrappy nine patch layout. Plus, a scrappy nine patch goes together pretty fast.



Isn't that it adorable?!?  I love how the monsters are peeking out behind the chairs, lamps, TV and the door.  Great colors for a little baby boy's room.

The batting is Quilter's Dream 100% cotton and it is quilted with an E2E called Maze by Wasatch Quilting.  I used 100% cotton, 40 wt. King Tut thread in Karnak color.  The size is 39" x 46".

Lil Monster - WIP

I was out in Utah this past weekend.  No sewing was done.  I did take some time to visit a couple of quilt/fabric stores while out there.  I scored a couple of pieces of fabric while out there.  Before I left, I was asked to make a baby boy quilt before March 27.  The theme of the baby's room is little monsters.  I found some cute fabric on etsy and got it ordered.  It was waiting for me when I got home late Monday night.

I decided to do a scrappy nine patch with the 9 different fabrics.


Fun, easy and adorable!  

My husband also got me 2 sheets of foam insulation while I was gone for my new design wall.  Pinned the batting on one last night.  This is a great design wall!  Totally lightweight and portable.  Now I can have a design wall and still have access to my closet!
