Sock Monkey Series—3 Quilts (PIGS and Neonatal)

This project accomplished a PIGS in my closet and met the goal of donating a neonatal quilt. It actually exceeded the goal by making 3 neonatal quilts to donate. I named the quilts after the “Planet of the Apes” movies. Mine are called “Planet of the Sock Monkeys”. Which is your favorite quilt in this series? My favorite is the “churn dash” one.
