I made this little quilt for a friend who will soon be having a baby boy.
It is made from a fabric line called "Eek Monsters" by Studio E. My friend is a quilter too and I knew from fabric shopping with her that she liked this line. (In fact I may have even sneakily bought the fabric when out with her. *wink* I believe it went something like, oh, I forgot something, you go ahead, I've got to go back for a second.)

For the front I bought three charm packs and then took out all the squares with black, dark stripes and purple and set them aside. (They will be perfect in a future Halloween quilt) The backing is below.
So cute and colourful.
The binding is a black and white herringbone which I think adds just the right amount of interest. I quilted it with simple wavy lines along the seams.

Herringbone rules for bindings! Need to find me some...
