Pink & Green quilts for some twin baby girls!
I finished up the set for my friend who is expecting twin girls. She told me that she’s doing her nursery in greens & tans, but I can’t resist pink! I figured this way, they will match but add a fun pop of pink. To my knowledge, my friend doesn’t know about my blog, so here’s hopin’ it’s still true!
I used the same fabrics in both quilts, but one is simple squares and the other is a zigzag quilt. I had fun making them both, but it’s official that I just don’t like working with triangles as much as squares. I’m just a squares kinda girl I guess!
In looking at this next photo, I’m made highly away of the fact that I could be a bit more of a perfectionist in my quilting… I need to work on that. Just a tad more diligence and this line wouldn’t look so stupidly wonky. I generally like wonky, but this was unintended wonk…
And the zigzag!
I broke a few needles quilting these triangles… how does one make the bump of layers where all of the triangles meet, thinner? Is there a trick or tip I don’t know?
And a couple of close ups:
And on a completely different, yet quilt related, note this is so great!

Very cute. Love the quilting!
These are stunning! What lucky little girls.
another beautiful quilt! I love, love the pink and green together. one of my favorite combos!
they are both perfect! I love the green bird paint by number print. Cute, cute!
I always change my needle before I quilt a triangles quilt…
Both so cute, but I love the zigzag! Especially the back. She’s sure to love these.
On triangles, you can trim the excess points to reduce bulk. I usually manage fine with that alone, but my quilting book suggests something like the “Twisting Seams” method here: http://www.debbiemumm.com/Projects/Quilting/GeneralDirections.aspx
Great job – I love them both. I’m a sucker for pink and green combos!
These are so cute! I love the vw bus! These colors work great together. I really like the backing you did on these. YOu are so creative.
Both so beautiful!
Love the zigzags! Can you just turn the handcrank when you get to the points? At least that way you can control the speed of entry.
Hey… don’t call it wonky… just refer to it as a design decision!! Remember… no quilt police!! Looks gorgeous as per usual.

Great job on both of them, especially the zigzag. Wonky is good, that makes it special. Anyone could go into the store and buy a “perfect” factory made blanket. You make one of a kind quilts, if it’s a tad wonky that makes it so much better
Have a great weekend !
No one will be able to resist those quilts – they’re beautiful! And they look so cute together!
on my zig zag i pressed the seams open…it definitely helps. did you donate? i did and now i’m wishing, hoping and praying! isn’t that quilt wonderful!
i love these you made too. i’m kinda with you on the squares…i always have triangle issues.
They look amazing!! You are so inspirational! I just started my first stacked coins quilt! I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for sharing!!!
Cute, cute quilts! I love them all! Pressing the seams open may help some.
I just found you through Bekka. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
This is my first time here on your blog. I love it. Maybe reading through a few more posts will get me motivated to start a new quilt for my living room.
I love both of the quilts. the color scheme is perfect. and I like how one is squares and one is zig zag. you did a great job!!!
Glad you tried something new with the triangles – even if they gave you a bit of trouble
They both look great!
I’m not a huge fan of green, but what you have done with these quilts is just beautiful. I love how you used the same fabrics, yet the quilts are different. I imagine your friend will be absolutely thrilled with these.
As the recipient of the these AMAZING quilts I feel quite honored!! They are absolutely beautiful and something the girls will treasure forever.
Great job and THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
