Twin Quilts

January 19, 2010

The week that Graham was born, some friends of ours found out that they were going to have twin girls! I’d already made a baby quilt for their daughter and knew I wasn’t about to leave these two out. After finishing the Jewel Squares top, I needed something I could finish quickly and easily. I ended up using the tutorial that Amanda Jean made for the Moda Bake Shop for one of the quilts….

and did a simple square in a square quilt for the other.

They are almost the exact same size, which was a goal.  Both are made from Tula Pink Hushaby fabric and some solids. I used a Kona solid- snow, I think- for the binding on both of them. I really like how they turned out- similar, but not identical. Now, we await the twins’ arrival!

    Gorgeous! And the quilting is awesome. Did you have them quilted professionally?

      I did have them professionally quilted. I’ve pretty much decided that I’ll only bother quilting things myself if it’s a doll quilt or something of similar size. The girl who did the quilting on this is my go-to quilter. She comes up with so many more cool designs than I could ever think of or be able to do on my machine. Angela, who did the quilting on these, will be joining the guild, too!
