My wonderful friend Rosann is having a baby boy in March, which was the perfect excuse for me to make another rag baby quilt! I tried, with increasing obviousness, to find out what colors/themes/whatever she was planning for her son, so that I could get started on a quilt.
Here's how the conversation went:
Me: So, have you started buying things for the baby?
Rosann: No, not really!
Me: Well, have you done any window shopping? Maybe you've seen some blankets or bumpers or something that you thought were cute?
Rosann: Not yet!
Me: Well, if you were to start thinking about it, what colors do you think you'd be drawn to?
Rosann: I don't really know... maybe nothing too bright?
Me: So like, pastels? Neutrals?
Rosann: Ha ha, I'm so not a visual person! I don't really know! I like monkeys!
Me: (giving up)
So I went to the fabric store with "nothing too bright, monkeys" as my criteria, and amazingly, I found the perfect fabric!
Not too bright! Monkeys! Hooray!!
From there, it was easy to find some coordinating fabric, and I love the way the quilt turned out:
Now the plan is to maybe make a pacifier clip or embellish a onesie with the same fabric to create a little gift set. I'm super inspired by the ones sold at The Red Pistachio:
I have several quilt projects nearing completion, so hopefully more posts very soon!
