So I just had to make them each a little quilt.
I used this tutorial from Quilt Taffy. I even ordered all my fabrics from them.....thank you, Corrie!
It's a very easy, fun, fast quilt to make. I simply pieced a checkerboard quilt top using a charm pack and some white fabric cut into 5" squares, then added a border.
This is the beginning of Colton's quilt:
Then I used the "Lil' Twister" tool and started cutting.....eeeek!
The Twister tool has very clear instructions included, also.
Here is little Audrey's girly quilt: (I added 2 borders to hers)
There will be a bunch of little squares left over so I trimmed them down to 2" pieces and made a burpie and a pillow (for big brother).
FINISHED!
Colton's is quilted with double bubbles...
Audrey's is quilted with large "L" loops in the center and 5-petal flowers in the outer border.
Welcome to the world, sweet little ones!
Adorable! Happy Birthday tomorrow, my friend!
ReplyDeletethanks - birthday was full of sweetness with little granddaughters.
DeleteCute quilts! I have that ruler and need to use it now!
ReplyDeleteI know - I hung on to it for a while before I jumped in! It's super fun!
DeleteThose are great! How wide is the border?? It doesn't say in the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherri - the first (yellow) border is cut 3" and the outer border can be any size you want. I did the same print for Colton's quilt but still had to add the 3" border first then add another outer border. Great question!
