Baby Monkey Gift Set



















I love being able to make custom gift sets for people!  I get to personalize them and make exactly what they want.

This gift set includes an 8-inch plush ball, 1 applique burp cloth, 1 water resistant bib with vinyl catch, 1 diaper and wipe strap (holds up to 5 diapers), and 1 pacifier clip that can really be used to clip lots of things to the little ones.

Matching quilt pieces

The last couple of weeks I worked on matching all of the pieces of fabric.  It was easiest for me to put all of the colors in order and then pull in order for each block.  For example, I used the following order for my blocks so that I did not ave any two colors touch.


Color #1- Green
Color #2- Flowers
Color #3- Yellow
Color #4- Dots
Color #5- Orange
Color #6- Circles
Color #7- Red


Time to match all of the blocks.  The way I set it up is that that I have 7 unique blocks.  I have started with the first of seven.  Take care when matching the triangles.  You want to make sure that when each half of the triangles are put together, they match as a single square.

Block one cosists of the following triangles:
Large green, medium flower, small yellow, small dots, medium orange, large circles

Block two:
Large red, medium green, small flower, small yellow, medium dots, large orange

Block three:
Large circles, medium red, small green, small flower, medium yellow, large dots

Block four:
Large Orange, medium circles, small red, small green, medium flower, large yellow

Block five:
Large dots, medium orange, small cirlces, small red, medium green, large flower

Block six:
Large yellow, medium dots, small orange, small circles, medium red, large green

Block seven:
Large flower, medium yellow, small dots, small orange, medium circles, large red


Again, this is just how I matched my triangles.  You can of course match however you want.  By doing it this way, the same blocks will line up diagonally for a pattern.
