Blankets for the Twins

We have some remarkable friends here, that we just love!  The last quilt was for their youngest granddaughter.  They just were blessed with twin grandsons this last week.  Here are the quilts I made for them....may I add just in the nick of time!  They arrived a bit early, but all seems to be well! 
Hurray for babies!

This is the first one.  Both quilts have the same or should I say some of the same fabrics in them.  A cute little puppy print.  What little boy doesn't love puppies!  The pattern is Marching in Line by Alex Anderson.  Super easy and fun to put together.
I used the dog bone print on the back of the first quilt.  The picture doesn't do the fabric justice, it really is cute.

I used the faux piped binding for both quilts.  I. LOVE. THIS. METHOD!  Here is the link to the tutorial.  Trust me you will love it too.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.  The best part is all washed and folded nice and neat!  PERFECT!

Quilt number two!  Look at the difference even though many of the prints are the same!
Used solid red on the back.  Not my first choice, I am not a fan of solids on the back.  I quilted both quilts with the Cluny pantograph from Super Simple Pantographs by Kirsten Emmerson.
Again the Faux Piped Binding....Here is a plug for my favorite fabric to bind in...I. love. stripes!
A perfect finish for two special little babies!

We must have similar taste, they had that dog fabric in fleece when Logan was born and I put together a quick no sew fleece with it after he came early. Love it

Sweet lady, I just caught up and LOVE all you have been doing. The darling backpack was sure to be a 'HIT' for all the many treasures Sweethearts and little animal lovers find. So cute!
I also loved the love quilt you made for Joslyn. It was so beautiful.
I am sure my daughter would love a quilting machine someday... She probably has that on her want list someday. Right now she wings it on her little machine. I ahope your precious family is doing great:)
(ps Thank You for being a quiet stregnth to me)
