Quilts for Twins!

A new family has been created and this joy calls for the creation of twin quilts!  Two little boys, born to a very athletic family that enjoys all sorts of outdoor activities.  Biking, camping, hiking, and playing with their dogs are all part of the fun that await these two boys.


The quilts are each made with a charm pack of bright solids, and share the same background "water" fabric as well as sharks in the borders.  I have made both patterns before, they are both fun quilts to make.

Yellow Rail Road

A pretty charm pack, some blue and yellow with pink binding, this little baby quilt came together quickly and easily, and so pretty as well! 
The charms were cut in half and reattached in a rail fence patch, resulting in a 4 1/2" by 5" block.  The center block was a 5" square, while the edge block were 4 1/2 by 4 1/2. A tiny setting sash cut 1" only frames these blocks nicely.

Coral Seas Baby Quilt


The fabric in this charm pack called me with their colors and their under the sea designs.  I used a pattern I have used several times before, all the blocks are the same design and measurements in this quilt.  A pale aqua border and quilting along the blocks finished this baby quilt for an as yet undecided recipient.
