Baby quilts for twin boys who are now almost a week old. Similar but different. Wonky log cabins in lots of brights. The 2 quilts are close to the same size but not quite. One is bound in orange gingham print and the other in turquoise. I felt it important to have the quilts be individuals but at the same time be similar enough to work for twins. Both are backed with a turquoise flannelette-brushed cotton. Soft and snuggly. The print on the back looks to me like blueberries so I like that! I found it in my stash so that was a good thing. I didn't buy any fabric for these quilts and that was nice too! I find it very satisfying to shop my stash. I did not quilt these a lot because I like baby quilts to be "floopy." But I did some straight lines in my favourite Aurifil 50 wt in white. I can't use any thread but Aurifil. I am a complete convert. The quilting shows up better from the backs in the photos down below.
I have to say these were so much fun to make and Husband and I popped them in the mail this morning!
