A Monkey Boy Label And Quilt

I took the oldest Monkey Boy shopping to pick out fabric for his own quilt. 

I had so much fun and loved every minute of it!

He's very creative and put his full attention into what fabric he wanted.
We walked around Quiltique looking at the quilts on the wall to get ideas for a design.

I drew a quick picture on the back of a receipt to show him blocks, borders, and binding

so he could pick out the fabrics for each portion of the quilt.
It was no surprise that he zoomed in on fabrics in reds and blacks since he loves those colors.

I think he was pretty excited about it, too!

The red and black fabric is Fowl Play by Westminster and the

crazy white and black fabric is Night and Day by Robert Kaufman.
The solids to go with it are by Robert Kaufman...I love that Kona!

He drew a design for a label so I can embroider it.

The fabrics he chose in his favorite colors would be perfect for the Rush Hour blog hop!

Label It ME!

I hear it is important to label your quilts.

I don't...well, I did once, but just once.

I either forget or they seem like too much trouble at the moment.

And then I saw some labels over at Lesley's blog,

The Cuddle Quilter, and knew I HAD to have some, too.

So, of course, I ordered some (they came yesterday) 

from MommieMadeIt.etsy.com.

They fold over and fit right in to a seam or binding edge.

I can even write a date on them if I want to.

These are my kind of easy, fun, and personal kind of labels.

LOVE THEM!

I can't wait to add one to my next quilt or project!
