Twin Boy Quilt #2

 In my previous post, I talked about Twin Boy Quilt #1.  Here is #2.




This is on my Finish-A-Long list for 2019, Quarter 1.

Twin Boy Quilt #1

Our nephew is fostering a couple of twin boys that they hope to adopt.  They live across the country, so I haven't met the cute little boys, but I still wanted to make a quilt for them.


This quilt pattern was made using a really cool little program (Haphazard at Savor Every Stitch.)   Basically you fill out a little form to indicate the colors you want to use.  Then you tell it how many big/small HSTs to include.  And it will generate an image with randomly placed blocks and tell you how many to make of each size.  It was so fun and I loved the way the quilt turned out. 


I tried to make sometime similar with squares and rectangles for the other twin quilt.   Turns out the computer is a better designer than I am.  ;) I don't like it as much -- needed more white space.

BOM Green Sampler Quilt

Here is is, my BOM quilt for last year -- this year each of our month we made 4 identical 6-inch blocks that could then be sewn together into a 12-inch block.  I chose to keep mine small.  I had seen many Splendid Sampler quilts that I liked, including the tutorial for the this shadow-box layout.  

 

Each time my mom sees it she says "Grandma would love that quilt!"  She loved the color green.  I didn't know that.  I love green too!  :)
