Blankets for the boys

On Tuesday my mom was here to help us clean the house. She comes every Tuesday, it's been the greatest blessing! After we are done we usually end up running errands and things. On Tuesday I needed to go to the mall, and my mom needed to go to the fabric store. I wasn't planning to buy anything at the fabric store, just help my mom find the fabrics that she needed. Well, I was in trouble because they put the nursery prints right by the homespun fabrics that my mom was looking at. There was a super cute monkey fabric that jumped out at me, I looked at it, put it back, looked at it again, and as I was looking at it again Roman saw it. He immediately grabbed the fabric and started hugging it. He didn't want me to make a blanket for Hudson with it, he wanted one for him. Well, I started looking at fabrics that would match the monkey fabric and found a green and yellow that matched perfectly so I decided to do it.

I haven't quilted at all since Roman was born (so in the last 3 years) so at first I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get them done before Hudson's born. I forgot how exciting it is to see a project coming together. How I have such a hard time putting it down once I can see it working. I had the quilt tops together on Wednesday.

I decided that I wanted to do their quilts a little different (so that we didn't have arguments over blankets). So Hudson's has 4 triangles that form a squares between the monkeys.

Roman's is triangles with a strip down the middle. Roman's is also 2 rows longer then Hudson's.


By Saturday I had Hudson's all quilted. I just need to get Roman's quilted and they will have adorable matching quilts!
