I had twin granddaughters, and here are the quilts I made them. The red fabrics are from the same line, but they have different patterns. The backs were wiggly stripes.

Bright happy colors that are not gender specific would be my choice. There are so many wonderful ones out there would be a shame to stick with the traditional ones when you are not certain of the sex of the babies.

I was thinking that I would make one green quilt. What color would you make the other quilt?

I am thinking of making Log Cabins, one each of two different designs.

I'm thinking yellow. I see a lot of yellow in baby's rooms.

I just posted one under pictures names Baby Border Bummer and it is for a baby that I don't know the sex off and I think the colours work well.

Be sure to post pictures when you are done. Red is my very favorite!

Willferg - I love your design and I have always loved orange and navy together, it would be a great color combination.

Sallyjane - I will bow to your superior experience. I still like the idea of a floral log cabin however it makes me nervous to assume that one of the babies will be a girl. No matter how cute it might be to dress twins alike, the mom isn’t a dress them alike type person. These will be fraternal twins and as a teacher I appreciate it when parents allow twins to develop their individuality.

At the risk of short circuiting the creativity that is flowing here I have to say that the decision has been made. The Reds have it. The mom has a den that is painted in Chinese Red. She will be converting it to a nursery and is going to leave it red. I think that Red and White will be the combination of the day. I may add a touch of black or blue if I can match the blue color that is accenting in the room now. This discussion has been such fun, thank you for all of your wonderful suggestions and I will keep you posted.
