Tutorial: Oversized scrappy quilted monogram

You can make this oversized scrappy monogram using a quilt as you go technique. Kimbo from A Girl and a Glue Gun guest blogs at Flamingo Toes with a tutorial showing how to make it. It would make a cute embellishment for a plain tote, or maybe a throw pillow or little girl’s t-shirt. I think it would also be cute on a banner that hangs on your front door.
