Default I Can FINALLY Share Quilts for Twins

I made these Dr. Seuss quilts for twins back in July, but haven't been able to share until the parents finally received them this week. The twins were born early and the baby shower was canceled. The parents did not know the sex, and decorated the nursery in a Dr. Seuss theme. I ordered two panels and then designed each quilt around the panels. It wasn't easy as nothing on the panels was straight or square. (Don't know that I will ever do a panel again!) I had the quilting done at my favorite LQS. The parents who live out of town finally got them this weekend. I hear they were happy with them.

Those are great!!!! Can you make me one????

What is wonderful is mom and dad will probably read those books to them so they can curl up under their quilts and they are read the stories - what wonderful memories.

Adorable quilts! The parents are sure to be delighted with these lovely quilts. Cure Panels are hard to come by in my neck of the woods.

Those are adorable! I hear you about wonky panels though. I have used two or three, and I have never had one that didn't take pulls and tugging to get it as square as possible (though never really square!). Luckily the quilting keeps them from going so caddywhompus after washing!

Great quilts and it sure doesn't show that the panels were out of square. What sex were the babies and hope they are getting along well?
