Ever walk past fabric and have it jump out, knock you down and insist you take it home? Yea, it happens to me all the time. Especially this super cute, er, I mean scary flannel fabric. These little guys on the fabric demanded that they come home and be made into a cozy t.v. blanket. I just couldn't say no. You should have seen the looks on their faces! So, now the fabric is home and I am working away on an applique quilt inspired by this fabric. Here's a sneak peek of what is done so far. This round little man is Earl.
This is Victor. He's a little sassy, but I have to admit he's my favorite.
Wally is a sweetie. A little clingy at times but an overall good guy.
Last, but not least we have legs. He's the dancer in the family.
I am pretty excited with how this quilt is turning out. The appliques were a lot of work so I think I am going to keep the rest of the quilt super simple. I can't wait to show you all the finished product.
I totally love this. have a little boy who would love this! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love that flannel (and your appliques). Would you mind telling me where you pruchased the flannel? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOhhh my goodness that is so cute!

Wow, those appliques look great! Can't wait to see it all put together! Where did you get that fun fabric?
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is awesome. Will you share where you found it or is it a "little birdie secret?" : )
ReplyDeleteThose look really awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe love to share as much as possible so I will let you in on the scoop. I actually found this at Joann Fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThese appliques looks super cute. I love them.
ReplyDeleteWOW! beautiful work!! Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!! :) Can't wait to see it all.
ReplyDeleteeee, too cute!
ReplyDeleteThere is this one flanellette that keeps calling me, it's either a soft blue or a soft green (comes in both colors) with the cutey cute cute CUTEST little robots on it. I have no boys so I keep ignoring the call. Next time I will listen, though! lol. Clearly cuteness trumps gender, your fabric would say 'boy' to me in the store but with what you're doing it just says 'adorable!' with no gender tags.
Last time I went fabric shopping I found a cute and GIRLY airplanes and rocketships flannelette! Light green and there are hearts on the cartoony helicopters, airplanes, and rocketships. I whipped up a pair of pj pants and just have to do some appliquing on a plain white shirt I picked up. In fact, I think I will finish that today!
I love it can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! I wish I had a little boy so I'd have a use for it! Oh wow, that's fabulous... you have totally inspired me. I love applique and I'm sure I could find something equally cute for my girly girls! Can't wait to see the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI saw this fabric too. Had it with me at the cutting table ans just didn't know what to do with it so I put it back. I my have to get some when I'm back at the store. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeletesuper cute. love it.
ReplyDelete- that is a super cute fabric!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThat Is super cute fabric and I love the appliques you are working on!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is super cute! Any chance you could share your monster applique patterns? I am heading to JoAnns asap to get some for my baby boy due in early March!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun idea!
It looks awesome. I'm excited to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteHi GSGC Strong Family!
ReplyDeleteI just sketched them out. I didn't save the patterns. Drat! Looking back I realize I should have. Sorry I am no help here. Stacy

What cute little monsters! That seems like a great way to get a kid to overcome a fear of them, they look like such friends.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! How do you sew the zig-zag stitch on the round shapes so perfectly? That os what has always kept me away from a project like this. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the monsters so much that I decided to make my own version for my nephew's birthday onsie ! He is turning 1 in 2 weeks so I am appliquing a cute little monster on for him. Thanks for the inspiration !
ReplyDeleteThis is not a kit. I just bought the fabric and hand drew the monster appliques using the fabric as my inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI picked this up for our son and made jammie bottoms. I LOVE the quilt idea! Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the hand drawn appliques....I'm anxiously waiting for hubby to get home from work so that I can run out and hope my Joann's has this adorable fabric!
ReplyDeleteA lil tip that I just found out being that I'm new to all of this...I just called my local Joann's to see if they had it, and they put the whole bolt on hold for me for 24 hours! Woo hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteFabric is always jumping off the shelves and into my shopping cart without having a specific purpose in mind :) VERY cute.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do monster applique on my son's shirts but am not creative enough to make-up a monster on my own. These monsters are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT. I can't wait to see the end result.
ReplyDeleteBeen Love Love Loving your Blog! The monster's are great! They make me want my boys to be younger again. Well almost makes me want that!
ReplyDeleteI love this -- and so does my son! He said that your first monster looked like Plankton - you know from Spongebob!! :) Who makes this fabric???
ReplyDeleteThat is completely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how your project turns out. That very same fabric jumped in my cart last month and is waiting for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHh I love the monsters!! I am about to have my 4th son and we are doing his room in skulls and monsters and what not, just quirky stuff and I am in LOVE with that material!! You are too crafty ma'am!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteOh I had to have the scary monster flannel, too! I made my boys little car art kits out of it. You can see them on my blog. I can't wait to see your quilt!
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to this post over and over. I would love to make something like this but have never appliqued. I have a machine but have only used it a couple of times. Would this be too ambitious for a beginner?
ReplyDeleteThose monsters are TOO CUTE!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThose ARE cute and yes, I have had fabric jump out and demand to come home with me. That happens a lot actually. I bet the quilt you're working on is super cute!
ReplyDeleteAnna
OH MY GOSH THAT IS TOOOOOOO FUNNY!!! I swear I just bought a 1/4 yard of that exact monster fabric to use as inspiration for a quilt by recreating the monsters!! I hadn't posted anything about it because it's on the back burner until I finish a few other things...I'm sure ours will be different so no one thinks I copied you! hehe
ReplyDeleteAnyway it's looking SO cute! I am excited to see your finished product!
Cuteness! I love it. Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI bought the same fabric. :) I haven't done anything with it yet though. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
