If so, the you’re probably thinking you see double.

How about bundling up your twins in these two lively baby quilts Named Twin One and Twin Two!

These color-filled quilts were inspired by a king size quilt I made for my daughters’ wedding. (see the header image of my home page.  That header photo was taken by Stephanie Parsley, the wedding photographer. She did a wonderful job capturing an outdoor wedding just before sunset.)

The wedding quilt was inspired by a  photo found on Pinterest for the Kaleidoscope Patchwork Quilt by Urban Outfitters, which has been sold out for some time.  I created a pattern from the photo, changing the borders a bit.

The two baby quilts were born of the leftovers from that quilt!  And it was quite a surprise to me when I realized I had enough left to make TWO baby quilts.

I used mostly Kona fabrics, which are soft, sturdy and with vibrant colors. The backing is a ticking “print” which means it is a much lighter weight and texture that actual woven ticking.  The binding on both quilts is hand sewn.

#4 – Twelve Quilts of Christmas

You’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo, Penguin or Polar Bear way with this absolutely adorable and snuggly baby quilt!  Named Snowball, this flannel quilt will probably turn into someone’s “Linus” blanket, carried around everywhere. Really!!  Aren’t these Polar Bears and Penguins the cutest!!?!!  The print seems perfect for the holiday season but just think. . . it will still be fun even in the middle of summer.

It was too overcast today to get a good photo, but I will post more photos to Facebook as soon as I can get enough good light, hopefully tomorrow.  If you didn’t know, I have a Facebook page, so click on over there and Like my Page easily share my posts.
