twin baby quilts

I should be sewing on labels.  Or binding.  But it's raining and icky and a nap sounds good, so at least blogging will keep me in an upright position!

Since the twin quilts started their journey to their new home today, I think it's safe to show pictures.

One of the twins finally revealed herself to be a girl.  She'll be called Riley.

Riley's quilt:

Baby #2 is being a little more stubborn.  He or she will get their quilt label finished when we find out the gender.

Haley's quilt:

(No idea why that blue looks like the photo was taken after dark...  They're also a little wrinkly from having been folded a while.)

I quilted them simply.  1/4" from the ditch.  Really soft light green with polka dot flannel on the back, as these will be fall babies.

I also thought I'd show a few photos of my quilted circles.  I did them free-hand, eyeballing it as I went.  I did sketch circles in the lime green outer cornerstones, but I don't think that helped much.  I was more focused on keeping on the line than steady movement...  Ah well, it's going to be used, so no worries.

and the worse

And a few photos of what goes on around here when I'm not entertaining...

(That poor cat tree cat bed - it never was quite right, but it's taken a beating!)

Happy quilting,
