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.

Alijack Baby Quilt – Into The Woods

Christmas time is here. . .

Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share. . .

is what you’ll think of snuggling up your baby is this all flannel quilt.

I named it Into the Woods and made it with a mix of new and vintage fabrics. The colorful dots on the backing fabric is new and the dark green print, yellow check and binding material is vintage fabric.  They were special leftovers from some other projects years ago, waiting to come together into this quilt reminiscent of simpler times.

The muted tones in this quilt will blend into a homespun, eclectic, DIY type of nursery decor and can blend well with a muted yellow theme, also.

The Twelve Quilts of Christmas!

Dear Readers,

I am so excited!!!  I’m counting down the days until Christmas with a quilt a day.  Each day until Christmas I’ll post a new quilt. Making these quilts has been so much fun.  As you check back to view the photos you’ll get an idea of the many different patterns that make charming baby quilts. Plus, you’ll get lots of color ideas for your nursery.

This baby quilt is named Candy Land from my Alijack Baby Quilt Collection.  Alijack baby quilts are thirty-six inches square – just the right size to bundle up a newborn or drape over a car seat – to keep your little one toasty warm.  And . . . as baby grows,  the colorful pink, green and yellow “balls” pattern will make this a fun play and learn mat.
