    Default Monkey's off my back

    Three years ago my niece asked me to make her little boy a John Deere quilt to fit his new BIG BOY twin bed. Then she wanted a matching golf quilt for his grandpa. I picked the Warm Wishes pattern because it was 1- quick 2- easy and 3- would show the tractors. The two quilts match in the design, the yellow/green stripe fabric in the strip block, And the chunky stripe/scrap binding. (Which I love <3) If I could redo the golf quilt, I'd have put the white "score card" blocks in the center. I was NOT ripping it apart though. The Princess Warm Wishes is a surprise for my nieces three year old daughter. It's smaller than twin size and I'm ok with that. I just thought since it took me so long to make the John Deere quilt, my great niece needed a prize too. Start to finish, it took me 10 days to make all three. I call them "monkey's off my back!" I'm SO happy they're finished, gifted, and off my back!

    They all look lovely. Warm Wishes pattern really shows off the object you want to be seen.
