Matched Pair for a Matched Pair

26 02 2013

When my niece Meaghan gave birth to a set of identical twin girls, I came up with this color scheme, lively and bright.   I used a pattern by Liz Porter, of Fons & Porter.  The fabrics were a matched set of precut squares, transformed into “snowballs” by the addition of flipped yellow triangles in all four corners of each precut patch.  The quilts are bordered in a dark pink floral,  and backed with an allover pastel pink floral.  Each “snowball” was quilted with a five petal flower.  To enable Meaghan to tell the quilts apart, I just arranged the blocks in a different order.
