Sock Monkey Blanket for my Sis!

I tend to put up posts in slow motion, but this one had a good reason--I was making a surprise blanket for my sister for her bambino-on-the-way.  It was my first attempt at applique, and I think it went pretty well!

Using an image from the great wide internet, I made a template to cut the fabric then ironed it on using fusible webbing.  I stitched over the edges to secure it and to add detail. I used 100% cotton batting as the middle layer. 

Test run for the stitching--no iron on.

Summer's not over!

So it's not too late to check out my Apartment Therapy Summer Style Survey.
