I made a monster yesterday. He's blue with a red polka dotted bow-tie. But his orange hair just isn't quite right. It's supposed to look like a spikey mowhawk do, but instead I got an orange crown. I'll have to work on that more tonight.
I'm making a monster quilt for my cute little six-year old monster. Which was originally an ironic nickname, but as her six-year-oldness has begun to kick in more I'm starting to question the irony.
Oh well, regardless I think these cute little hand appliqued monsters will be a lot of fun. I absolutely love the bright colors.
Meanwhile the little girl cut a bunch more squares for her quilt yesterday. She only needs about twenty more and then she can start sewing! The husband is well into his third quilt top and will be learning to machine applique with a satin stitch very soon.
No doubt she'll cherish this quilt. Those nicknames have a way of becoming self-fulfilling prophecies, don't they? :)
