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!
