Using up fabric - brother quilts

I know that no one here can relate to having too much fabric ha ha ha I am trying to use at least some of my fabric, so I made my 2 great nephews these quilts. They are very similar but I hope they like that. The rust color sashing on the one quilt is left over from the baby quilt that I made for one of the boys - so it seemed to fit for his toddler quilt

my brother had a farm for years.... so I always think of farm animals with him anyway

Isn't it interesting how different the quilts look with the different coordinating colors? Thanks for sharing.

Great idea. The two quilts are complementary but not identical. Please post again when you quilt your adorable tops.

Very cute! They will love them. ... What!? Too much fabric!! I can't imagine ... as I look over the tons of stash I have that I am feverishly trying to sew into quilts to gain some control!
