Default Twin Sized quilts finished!

I have a friend who lost his wife two years ago. Every second weekend he has his two grandchildren stay with him and he plans wonderful activities for them. So I decided the wonderful grandpa should have two quilts made! The blue and white one is a Jenny Doan pattern - the Zipper quilt. Not sure where I found the pattern for the pinwheel pattern but it was on the internet. I liked that pattern because the rows were offset, no matching seams etc. I gave him the quilts yesterday and he was thrilled! The quilts are a larger size than regular twins as both children have beds with storage so the quilt will have to be tucked under the mattress when making the bed.
