…In real life the quilts are the same size.
My sister called and said the quilt that our Great Grandmother made her was falling apart because she is now mid thirties, has been using it since she was basically a baby, and her two kids have been using it for several years now. She asked when her kids were getting quilts…the answer is RIGHT NOW! and double sided too.
Admittedly, I made these quilts way too quickly. I had a different idea in my head about how they should be but then I decided to make them both with a combined deadline of two weeks because I really wanted to hand deliver them. Plans changed and I wasn’t able to come home between trips the way I wanted too, so I ended up having to mail them anyway. Oh well, they can have more intricate quilts when they are older.
Since the kiddos share a room I thought it would be fun to do twin quilts. Both essentially the same, but with different color schemes. I bought fabric that was from the same collection so the colors would all work together well. Then I piled the fabric into different color categories, one brighter with pinks and reds, and one darker with blues and greens. Then I took one or two from each pile and switched them so they would have each others themes in their quilts.
The butterflies were from a paper piecing set I bought off of etsy.
