Inspiration in Odd Places
My cousin is having a baby boy this summer. She has 2 girls, so this is her first venture into the world of boys. I've been meaning to make a quilt for her for a while now, but other things keep coming up. Her style is very retro - she LOVES vintage sheets. She actually sells clothing made from vintage sheets here - cute stuff.
I don't own any vintage sheets, but I wanted to do something that's still true to her personality, and then I noticed this cute Sock Monkey sitting in the playroom. The kiddos both came home with their own sock monkey from Grandma & Grandpa Thompson's home on our last visit and I thought, "That's perfect!"
My inspiration led me to Moda's Funky Monkey fabric. It's seriously adorable! I have a few thoughts about the design, but they're still bouncing around in my head. I have some FMQ to practice this evening, but I'm hoping to start this quilt soon.
Hope you're enjoying the beginnings of summer. Happy Friday, everyone!
