Posted on July 16, 2020 by TK HarrisonJuly 14, 2020

Remember playing that game when you were a little kid? The one about monkeyâ€™s jumping on the bed? Thatâ€™s what this quilt personifies! Thereâ€™s no reason why you canâ€™t jump on top of it, while itâ€™s lying on your bed & relive your childhood! Whoâ€™s to stop you from doing it now ðŸ™‚ ?!! You have to find all the fun you can wherever & whenever you have a chance!

This month, â€œMonkey Businessâ€ is the free pattern that members earn,
for completing the Quilt Dash.

Just look at these two “Monkey” quilt blocks & how they go together like two birds of a feather…errr…they’re not bird blocks but “Monkey” blocks ðŸ™‚ !

: Double Monkey Wrench Quilt Block

: Monkey Wrench Quilt Block

This quiltâ€™s not too difficult to make if youâ€™re a confident beginner!
You also need to make sure you can keep your fabric colors in order. There’s a Beige & a Tan. A Brown & a Dark Brown. If you can make Half-Square Triangles & a number of Square in a Square’s then this quilt’s a snap to put together!

“Monkey Business”

This traditionally pieced quilt measures 49″ x 62â€ when finished.
The quilt blocks are 13â€ square finished & 13 1/2â€ square unfinished.
