Twin Quilts

The twin quilts are finished - yay!

You can pop over here to see the work in progress, but basically the brief was full of ice-cream colours ... mainly yellow, pink and mint green in pastel shades) ...



Cute little animals ...








and a minimal design ...





I added some straight line quilting in matching variegated mint and yellow threads, creating 60 degree diamonds (channelling my inner waffle cone) and some stripy binding for extra yum!


They are sweet and simple at 40" x 60" and I can't wait to see them in their new home.  The little twins will be welcomed into our crazy world any time now ... Exciting!

    These quilts are so sweet in their dreamy colours and super pieced blocks, I love that they are for twins too, twice the fun.

    So sweet. Love the deer and hedgehog (or is it a porcupine?) I'm impressed you could make two of them.

    I really love that Posy print for the background! It really makes me think that you don't have to just use light/plain fabrics for backgrounds ...

    I think you nailed the request for the design!!
