2 sisters, 2 quilts....

Vicky and Sally are twins.
They live in the UK.
They both received the "Vintage Quilt Revival" book for Christmas last year...
and they both made the quilt!
Even though they're twin sisters, their quilts are completely different styles!
This is what I'm talking about...
Here's Sally's quilt - she set her blocks on point.
I quilted a teardrop shape in that pretty white background.
 
 
...love her backing...
 
 
I gave each quilt block its own personality with different quilting.
 
 
The blocks look like they're floating - I love that!
 
 
All bound and ready for home...
 
 
Here's Vicky's quilt. 
She went traditional.
Vicky framed each block, added sashing strips between and a post.
 
 
 I gave each of Vicky's blocks individual treatment, too.
 
 
I quilted ric-rac in the sashing & swirled the posts.
 
 
That backing - after spending some time in Japan, Vicky knew she had to have this piece for her quilt. 
So darn cute!
 
 
This one is all bound & ready for home, too.
(they said they were "giddy kippers" waiting for them to arrive)
 
 
They sent me these adorable little "haberdashery" items - a pin cushion and matching tape measure.
thank you...I love them...
 
 
Thank you, Vicky & Sally, for allowing me to "do my thing" on your beautiful quilts!

    1. I still can't believe you were wearing my little "Taffy Piggy" and I didn't even notice. You're so funny!

  8. So fun to see the different take on the same pattern. Love your quilting on both of them, especially the rick rack in the sashing. And those special gifts are TOO cute!
