After a few months of secret sewing, my DD's have their very
own special quilts on their beds. Twin quilts... matching but opposite.
My dear friend Judy asked me a year or so ago to
design a quilt that she could make for her two twin GD's
for their 4th birthday
I thought and thought about it and after a while decided I also needed two
quilts for my DD's also. Then what to make?
They loved shoes and handbags and all things girly,
birdy's and flowers, bugs and brolly's
cupcakes and teacups,
butterflies and stars.
I searched and searched,
then I saw a tree block I loved, so I made that
then a shoe block I fell in love with myself.
I also loved a pattern I had for butterflies...I used that
I drew all the small block designs myself to fit inside the tumbling blocks...
and the birdies cos I love birdies in a tree...
Followed a tutorial or too for the tree, stars and dresden blocks...
and wow I was thrilled with the outcome...
I want to make another now....in different colors of course.
Maybe I'll invite you join me, that's if you want to make one too?

Your quilts for the girls are just beautiful Dawm. Pity I have 3 boys! I don't get to make many girly things!
Wow - these are spectacular! And the design is something that the girls won't outgrow for a long time. Even then, they will have cherished quilts made especially for them by their mom.
