baby boy zig-zag quilt
sorry to toot my own horn, but i am so proud of myself for making this quilt!!! {and i'm happy that my friend allison is still my friend after me bugging her so many times for help!} my cute friend allison moved here last summer and is a FABULOUS quilter. her quilting blog is called cluck, cluck, sew {you have to see how amazing this girl really is!} well, i've been wanting to learn how to quilt for a long time...i've made rag quilts before, but i've never really quilted on top of the quilt. so i decided a quilt for baby boy was the perfect place to start. i found the fabric, i just needed to figure out a design. well, i major blog hopped and found this tutorial for a zig-zag quilt and as soon as i saw it, i knew it was the one i wanted to make. i had so much fun making it, and now i'm addicted to something new - quilting!!! i'm so glad i have a friend here to help me too! on saturday we went to the quilting expo in cleveland, and despite being about 40 years younger than the rest of the crowd, we had a tons of fun and both decided that we need $10,000+ quilting arms, wink...wink! so now i have many more quilts in the works, and something else to take me away from my housework...dang.

Oh, I LOVE this! We are big sock monkey fans in our house! This is fantastic!
Great job, Lara...this is GORGEOUS!!! So proud of you. I also love to quilt. So addicting!
i love pip l too...
and my m-i-law is a huge quilter, she has an entire room dedicated to it and has a whole budget for it, it can be so expensive, but gorgeous! nice job! i am happy with telling her what i want and she is happy to make it!
i love it! and good for you to quilt it yourself - i was too lazy. by the time i sew a blanket i am ready to pay someone else to quilt it for me. you never cease to amaze me with your projects!
I need you to move back asap so you can teach me to sew, I've kind of been itching to learn (did you ever think you would hear those words out of my mouth??) Nothing big like that gorgeous quilt, just some bags, boys ties, stockings, etc.!!
So fun! It's really cute. I love it! And you SHOULD be proud of it! :o)
now you have to design your own fabrics. . . and i ill by them. welcome to the world of quilting!
It turned out so cute! Its so bright and happy, your going to want to snuggle with it until Baby is born and not give it back. I'm so proud of my first quilting apprentice.....and so happy that you got sucked into quilting addiction. :)
Love it! I've made lots of quilts over the years and they can be addicting. (Rewarding) Great fabric choices. The monkeys are such fun.
That is way fun. I love it!
You go girl!! I love this quilt! You have some mad skills Lara! And continuing to learn new skills! You're amazing! We love you!
