that you label the quilts with their names on it. Even if you make them slightly different and even when they are young teens, they will fight over which one is whose!
LOL, my twins are 16 (boys) and just recently got into an argument about their quilts. I said "look at the label" and the one holding the quilt sheepishly said, "its not mine."

Good point. So true! Mine do too.

Maybe the pink and blue colors you have in the middle for the borders would be a great finish. The quilt is adorable.

The quilts are so cute; I'd do something different on the next border, or if you add two you could reverse the colors. Different color binding, which has been suggested, is a good idea.

I wouldn't use the panels as a border, do you have some pink, or yellow, even green. Also, I would do them a little different for each girl.

Really cute quilts. I would use the black and white you used in the sashing then another red same as you used on the framing border but use them in reverse so they are different then label them on the back. Good job. I have twins and they never wanted to be the same. But if you buy everything the same there' s never a fight over whose it is, unidentifiable if they are the same.

I thinkg a pink or a red border would really bring out the colors.
But I do agree, make one of them a little different, maybe even
one with pink border one with red. But they are adorable, they
will love them.

I would use red.
