Now here’s a quilt that’s taken me forever to finish! I started collecting these wonderful munki munki prints early in 2009 and then started making these fun improv blocks during that summer. Originally I had grand ideas to make it into a queen sized quilt, but after realizing how many blocks that would require, I sort of lost interest and set the blocks aside.
Now, many many months later, I decided the best course of action (or at least easiest course of action!) would be to just sew what I had together and make it into a cute little baby quilt.
And indeed it is cute, and really so appropriate as a baby quilt. The colors are soft and soothing and I love that it could lend itself as either a quilt for a baby boy or a baby girl. And of course, seeing all those wonderfully detailed munki munki prints makes me smile!
I kept the backing simple and used a great aqua solid along with a strip of the munki munki goldfish in bags print. The quilting is simple as well – straight lines running vertically and horizontally at varying widths.
It measures about 36″ square, and now, fresh from the dryer, is all soft and crinkly – just perfect for a new little baby! It’ll be in the shop later today. Sold, thank you!
what I’m working on this week…
distracted…
I don’t know how you can STAND not to keep this one for yourself!
Exactly. It’s only going to get harder for you to put baby quilts up for sale! I like your quilting.
So cozy! great job.

Oh it’s so stinkin CUTE!!!! Love the blocks on this one!
Adorable, fun, modern – perfect baby quilt!
I admire how you love a certain fabric, want to work with it so you seek to collect it, create with it and then let it go in your shop.
Great colors – you should totally keep it!
Love this one!
What a cute quilt! I love the improv blocks. These colors really are soft and soothing. And that goldfish print down the back is perfect. What a lucky person to get this one! I bet you’re relieved it’s finished and off to a home to be used and loved.
I think I just fell in love. The colors and the fabrics are just wonderful. I love the improve style.
Gorgeous, gorgeous quilt!
I can’t believe you were able to give up this lovely quilt! I would have been selfish and kept it
Wow! I adore this quilt. I wish it were still available even though I can’t afford it. Are you still destashing any Munki prints?
Absoluely gorgeous Ashley. Glad you finally finished this one off. It so deserves to be loved.
love, love, love this!
