Quilts for Twin Boys

Posted on October 3, 2011August 4, 2015 by Martha

There are lots of projects I need to complete between now and Christmas, but I knew these little quilts would be first on the list.  Jenny S., one of the wonderful teachers at my (former) school, is pregnant with twin boys, and I wanted to make the babies some bright and cheery quilts.

This is my second set of twin quilts, and they are pretty fun. I like to make them similar, but different. The fabrics are reproduction scraps and solids from my stash, and they are backed with striped ticking — one red, and one blue. I did not have time for hand quilting, so I machine quilted them using colored thread that matches the solid fabrics.

The quilts are 43″ square — big enough for a baby to lie on, and small enough for a toddler to drag around.  I hope Jenny likes them.

    I love them! Those are some of my favorite type of fabric (matter of fact a lot of those look very familiar) and how very clever of you to make them so similar and yet so different!

    They look beautiful Martha. My daughter has just fallen pregnant so this is a spur-on for me!

    The little prints are great, and I love the whole similar but different look. I’m sure she will love them, and so will those babies!
