Does anyone have any ideas for quilts for twin newborns - something unusual?

My DD had a friend when she had her twins a lady her Mom worked with made her quilts with Noah's ark on them.. the words "2 by 2 they came" was on the border. She loved them...she had boys so don't know it they would be as cute for twin girls..crafty_linda_b

I have twin grandsons....they will be 3 in October..for their 2nd birthday I made them Caillou applique quilts and have made them 9 patch with 2 inch blocks on point...but made them both completely opposite of each other...used greens and yellows..one had one greens the other more yellows...also made them lizard quilts

Made quilts for grandsons born (exactly) two years apart with the same feature fabric. I used different patterns and different secondary fabrics.

You can use the same focus fabric in big squares but change the color of the sashings and borders.

Here is one quilter's recent post on what she did for twin boys:

perhaps make one quilt the opposite in colors... red with blue sashing with the other blue with red sashing, or whatever colors you choose.

I think you nailed it for unique quilts for twins! :)

That is a really great idea. When my boys were little, (not twins but only two years apart), I bought one red of everything, pants, t-shirts, toys, bikes- and the other one got blue.

That way they were instantly color coded and they could tell them apart as could we!
