It started as a frugal plan to do some scrapbusting with a future boy quilt in mind. Lots of 9 patches were made in green and blue.
Tiring of that.... some alternate blocks for a change of scenery at the sewing machine. So hourglass blocks were made:
Also I added 4 1/2 inch squares of some yardage.
Then to personalize it:
Some monkeys at the wheel:
And some frogs:
... and of course a name:
Hand quilted overlapping circles with a light grey quilting thread in the centre and red perle cotton in the outer areas.
Backed with a repurposed flannel sheet.
Named,washed and ready for gifting.
This one's for my nieces son who recently became a big brother.
