One of the first baby quilts I made were for twins, a boy and girl. I used a simple colored square, snowballed on opposite ends in muslin. The squares came together with 4 triangles in the middle, like an hourglass. I had just acquired my Janome 4000 (the twins are 12+ now), so I purchased a big variety of rayon thread, some plain, some variegated and tried out my embroidery stitches to quilt them. After making a 30-34 inch center, and making two quilts, I decided to just add large borders of blue and pink gingham. The parents loved the quilts and I had fun playing while quilting. I have often used Rayon thread for quilting, from lap to twin size, and I like the results. So far the quilts seem to be holding up nicely.
