After finishing the quilt for the boy twin, I started out on a quilt for the girl twin. Once again I started the process by just making some random blocks.
I had some left over HST scraps from snowball blocks on my daughter's quilt, so I used those to make pinwheels.
I fussy-cut some of Aneela Hooey's Little Apples and Into the Woods fabric, which became the centers for a couple stars and churn dash blocks.
Then when I had my pinwheels, stars, and churn dash blocks, I laid them all out on the floor. I decided to tie them all together with stripes in the background, using all fabrics I had stashed.
I backed it in the same print as the boy quilt, and quilted it with a loopy pattern.
Here is the boy kitten my son named Rex (short for T-Rex). I didn't manage to get a full picture of this quilt without a kitten in it. Rex seemed to think the photo shoot was of him and not the quilts.
These quilts certainly don't match, but I think they are coordinated enough to be considered a pair.

Those are darling - far more creative than the two I finished for my friends' twins. They will be 1 on Saturday. And so nice quilted, too. I would give the teal and white one to the girl and the other darker/brighter one to the boy -jmo. They're both great!
ReplyDeleteOops, I got it wrong - you are giving that darling teal/white quilt to the girl twin. Just precious.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, both the quilt and the cat!
ReplyDeleteWhat charming and fun quilts. Love the fussy cutting.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish - like how your grew your quilt. Cute cat too!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I love all the different blocks you incorporated. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the kitty is super adorable, too ;)
Fabulous! I love the approach you took. I need to try a less planned approach to my quilts.
