My niece is going to have twin boys in November. She (and my other nieces having babies this year) is painting her nursery and playroom gray. She is on bed rest until then, so I thought it would be entertaining for her to pick the pattern and fabrics. She bought two bundles of FQ from a line called Backyard Baby and another from Joel Dewberry on Etsy with aqua, green, orange, and yellow. She selected a stacked coins pattern for Baby A and New Waves for Baby B. She doesn't want to duplicate everything for the twins, she wanted similar. Different patterns, but both share many of the same prints, are strongly vertical in design, and have sashings in Kona medium gray. I've had to acclimate my eyes to accept the gray, but it is a good neutral for the brights.

I finished the straight-line quilting she selected on the Stacked Coins quilt last night. I love it-- it is just right for her.
