The twin quilts my neighbors commissioned from me are finished and I think might already be on the way to their new owners.
The brief was to make twin quilts that are the same but
different. So I used the same fabric (almost all from the 1st Cotton
& Steel collection) but arranged them a little different for each
quilt and my customer wanted the name of each of the girls embroidered
on them. I think this is a really nice touch and will make them special
for the little girls.
I quite enjoyed making these two little beauties and quilted with variegated threads along the seam lines and added a few in between.
I love this colour combination with the pinks and yellows/mustard thrown in between. The dark blues add contrast and focus.
I added a spotty binding to each of them but again differentiated here and chose a yellow and a turquoise one.
The backs are solids with a little pieced strip of left over fabric to compliment the fronts.
So cute....
The fabric and color combo is so great and I love their hand stitched names to personalize them and so they don't get them mixed up.
