Layer Cake of April Showers for Finish it Up Friday

Friday!  What a day!  Today, it was a June Showers Downpour!  As my dear husband would say, "a frog strangler" kind of rainy day.  This finish is appropriate.  It is Bonnie and Camille April Showers fabric layer cake in the quilt pattern by Thimble Blossoms' - Piece of Cake 3.  The quilting is done in an E2E Modern Diamond Curve pattern by Wasatch Quilting.  I can't wait to see this one washed, dried and all crinkled!

This is my second quilt made with this pattern.  If you want a quilt pattern that is pretty quick and easy, this is a good one.  The raindrop patterned fabric is one of my favorites from this line.

Linking up with Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts and TGIFF!

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".
