It was time to figure out a way to turn these into a quilt. I decided to frame them and I was tickled when I dug through my brown bin and found a good match. I KNOW I have too much fabric, but sometimes it comes in handy! I chose this pattern that I added to my notebook when a good friend and I exchanged binders - this was one of the patterns in her binder:
So I dug out coordinating fabrics and commenced to making blocks to alternate with my monkeys:
Once the top was pieced, I pieced the back using a coordinating fabric I had that probably would have been cute as border, but I didn't have enough, so it found it's way into the back, making the back
as cute as the front:
Jackie quilted leaves across it with a perfect tan thread:
And I pulled a green print from my stash for the binding:
It's 45" x 54"
and I hope these little monkeys
are as tickled to be out of that bin as I am with how this came together:
