I finished the sock monkey quilt binding last night:

I'm really happy with it; it's very bright and colorful. As I said earlier, I'm going to keep this quilt close at hand for those times when I'm sad or feeling ill (lots of people I know, as kids, had some "special" blanket or quilt. In my own family we had an extremely heavy green crocheted afghan - I think it was made of the old Red Heart wool yarn - that was used in that role. Not sure what became of it; bugs may have eaten it up over the years).

This is a close up of my favorite fabric in the quilt; it's like a portrait gallery of different sock monkeys:
