Doll and Monkey Quilts



Work in progress, but since it is a long project and I am running out of April for posting, putting it up here now. The inspiration is the two doll quilts Mrs. Trentacosta made for us as kids. My nieces each have a special "friend" who could use a blanket.  The squares are straight forward, with the "characters" on the certain squares being cut out of iron-on repair patches.  The edges are in progress..binding tape, hand stitched.  Mrs. Trentacosta was a far superior hand sewer than I...."patience" being attributed as a virtue surely had something to do with handwork. Gad.
