Sock Monkeys I

For quite a long time, all of my quilts were made by picking a block - log cabin, star, 9-patch or whatever - making a bunch of them, and sewing them together with or without sashing. But in about 2006, I suddenly discovered patterns!

It all began with the pattern used here, I think it might be called sticks and stones, which was introduced to me by Michelle. I made three quilts using this pattern, this baby quilt for my friend Katherine Huffman's first child, was the first and the only one in which I used only one repetition of the pattern.
