Two Not So Identical Quilts for Identical Twins
 

My latest project has been making these two blankets for my new grand nieces. I used the same fabrics in both blankets, but very different patterns so there will be no confusion as to who has whose blanket down the road. I also backed them with minky...one smooth and the other bumpy. These were fun to make. It's been awhile since I've made a small faster project like this and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

nicely done... and love the bed quilt too

Those are really cute - great idea using same fabric but different patterns

Ditto and also love the minkee backing, so soft and cuddly!

it's great that they're same fabs but different designs. nice work

Those are awesome. Great idea for twins.

Great quilts, but that quilt under them! Could you show us a picture of that one as well and what the pattern is called, etc. You do great work!

both are very nice! and yeah, what about the black and white one on the bed?

What a great idea. I like them.

Those all look like fun projects. Nice job!

Those both turned out so different! Pretty quilts

Both are very cute. Nice bright colors.

Beautiful colors, love your different looks...also nice quilt on your bed!

I love these! I love that they are NOT identical but complimentary to each other. I sure hope they become a cherished favorite. Nice job.

Beautiful work on the 2 small quilts and the bottom one also!!

Those are adorable!!! Love the minky.

They are both equally pretty on both sides.

These are two very cute quilts. Nicely done.

love the patterns and fabrics. great idea for twins. beautiful work. love the minky.

Great job!

I love that they are different! They will love them!

Great idea to use two different designs for the same fabric. Those will be well loved, for sure.
I agree with a couple of the others....share info on the NY beauty under the kids quilts.

I have wondered about the minkey. Does it sit still when quilting or did you experience shifting? I love the feel of this fabric and the colors are so delicious.

Both are really nice! Love the difference the pattern made using the same fabric.

Very very pretty !! Thanks for sharing !

I have used minky many times for kids quilts and chemo quilts and never had a problem at all. I lay the minky out on my table and tape it down with duct tape to keep it from shifting while making the sandwich, then smooth out the batting if desired and smooth the top onto that. I have always used saftey pins, but think that I'm going to try basting next time so I don't have to be so constantly aware of removing pins as I go. Be sure to clean your machine afterwards...it can get fuzzed up. Thanks for looking.

Super cute quilts & what a great idea for twins. I too, have to mention that gorgeous quilt on your bed. It is spectacular.

Really cute quilts, and I agree with QuiltNan that the quilt covering the bed is stunning.

Very cute!

Ditto for me too!!

Lovely bright quilts.

so cute! wish I had had twins... they seem like such fun!

Looks great...Love them..

They are both beautiful, great and thoughtful gifts

they are both great nice job!!!

Cute quilts and I love the fabric choices.

Both are very cute! They're going to love them. I agree, quick projects are fun to do. You can actually finish the quilt before you run out of steam and fall out of love with the pattern and/or fabric!
