Fraternal Quilts Done...Almost



I got Baby B's quilt done today!!!


Front of Baby B Quilt. I love the rounded edges! So easy. I think I will do this for all baby quilts from now on!! I wish I would have had the forethought to round Baby A's quilt.


Back of Baby B Quilt. This quilting pattern can be found here. 
  It's Elizabeth's Hartman's Crazy Nine Patch Lattice (free) pattern. 


Here is the quilting. Sorry it didn't show up in photos very well. It's a wonky circuit board variation. I kept the quilting big to ensure softness. It's about a 2" scale.

In case you missed it, here is my baby A quilt.



Just your easy-peasy-quick-show of your pretty prints-brick quilt. I kept the quilting just as easy with a simple stipple on about a 1 1/2-2" scale.

These quilts are very different for twins. My sister-in-law is having fraternal twins, so I think it's fine. I get bored easily, so making identical quilts is not my thing! I posted them on FB so I wonder how long it will be until she see them??? She is not having a baby shower since this is kid 3 & 4 for her. So, there is no need for secrecy. But, she didn't know:)

All that is left is to label these and give them to her. She is scheduled for a c-section May 20, so I got done in plenty of time!!

  1. Baby B's quilt is perfect! The design, the rounded corners, the quilting - all adorable. I think it is a perfect complement to Baby A's quilt. Mothers of twins tell me that they like things that aren't the same. So I think you did great and in plenty of time! Woo Hoo! ~Jeanne

    1. Thanks, Jeanne! She doesn't want rhyme names for the babies or anything like that. I just hope the right quilt ends up with the right personality;)

    1. Thank you Lorna! Yes, it's a TV pincushion;) Although it's more cute than functional. I stuffed it with household cotton balls, and I think it's pin resistant LOL. Pins barely penetrate. I will have to use something else to stuff with next time.
