Tummy time quilt for almost-here twin boys
 

My cousin's DIL is expecting twin boys in February. Grandma asked me to make a large giraffe themed quilt for them to play on together. The color request was brown, tan, navy, and powder blue. Giraffes were not in my stash. I got the brown focal fabric from another member (through the In Search Of section) and had lots of fun finding a couple other pieces on-line. Stash filled in the rest.
When the navy and white piece arrived in the mail, I was dismayed. It is 100% cotton as described. Unfortunately, the seller did not mention that it was drapery weight. It was too perfect to leave out but hand quilting through it was a challenge. I think it will work well on the floor anyway and last through lots of rough-and-tumble play and washings. At 64" square - the little guys will have a football field to play on!
I've got some of the backing fabric left over and have drawn up a pattern for little stuffed giraffes to add as my gift. Today's project!

very cute!!!!!

Adorable!!!

Wonderful quilt. I really love how you managed to incorporate the giraffe theme so well given the requested color theme. The mother to be is sure to love it.

Awesome!!!!!

Great quilt - it is a good big size for them to roll around on.

wow...that is a beautiful quilt...well done

Absolutely adorable!

Very cute. Giraffes are really in for babys.

oh so cute!!! the other day at Hobby Lobby i saw some duck cloth white with black polka dotted giraffes on it and loved it.

Wow! You nailed that request! It turned out lovely and I am sure the new little ones will use and treasure that quilt for years to come! I love the pattern you used as well. Good job!

Very Sweet Quilt
