And I made their dog his own TV quilt with the scraps!
This is a fabulous idea! I can see all sorts of different ways of doing it. Two exactly the same with their names on them, or with the same pattern and the same colors but reversed (if one has blue on silver, the other could be silver on blue, for example), or with the same pattern but in different colors, or the same colors and different patterns.
Now whether or not I can manage to complete two quilts … happy 10th anniversary kids!
Thanks to everyone who posted! I have no idea what I’m going to do, but now it’s because I have to sort through all the ideas, whereas before it was because I didn’t have any good ideas, putting me in a much better spot now. I’m leaning towards two quilts in the same colors either in different patterns or arranged differently, but until I find the fabrics, things tend to change as I go (because I can’t find that perfect green and then think maybe purple would work if I used yellow instead of brown, but then I’d have to change the gold to something else, and you’d think the black would look good, but it needs to be a brown black, not a blue black … and it goes on and on).
