I knew a girl in college….we were in different circles, but lived in the same dorm. She became pregnant with twin girls. What should have been all happy moments turned scary. They were born early. VERY early. 28 weeks.
God gave me this gift, and sometimes I HAVE to use it. Even when I have a million other projects I SHOULD be doing. Those girls, and Mommy and Daddy, need to know that someone else cares. One gets my FAV pattern…the Carpenters Square. 
With my fav flower (the daisy) quilted into it. 
The other gets an All Paths adaptation (an original pattern).
and my fav girly quilting pattern (peacock feathers). 
And my little butterfly snuck in there!! LOL Add some zebra binding, and you got a really cool HipHop style quilt!
I also threw in 2 “scent dolls” made of minkie. 
I had planned on this being the back, but the quilting looked SOOOO good on the black flannel that I couldn’t cover it up. 
Meh—-the picture didn’t show up real well. Trust me on that!!!
Now just do me a favor. Say a little prayer for Bella and Bristol. And for their parents. Thanks.
peace and pieces,

Those are really beautiful. I’m sure Mom & Dad will truly appreciate them. Love you!
Thank you!!!! Hey–we need to talk about your birthday present!!!
Lovely! I’ll be thinking of those sweet babies! This is the perfect little gift for them! And who doesn’t love minkie on the back of a quilt? Quilty hugs!
I chickened out with the minkie on the back—I didn’t know if I could long arm it. Have you ever used it? I might practice….I know someone else having a baby REALLY soon.
I love feeling minkie, but I hate sewing on it! Can’t help you with that one!
I’m sure that mommy and daddy will take comfort in your gift and the caring that comes with them. They are beautiful. Well done.
Thank you. She should have gotten them Saturday, but they didnt get there. They better get there today!!
It’s always nice to know that someone is thinking about you! That is a lovely thing you did Amy! Hugs!
Thanks. The Mom seemed to like them at least!
Where did you get the large Carpenters Square pattern? That would be great for the center of a Quilts of Valor quilt (with borders added).
Cheryl, I just looked at a “real” one with the diamonds, and reinvented it with HSTs. It’s not “proper” but it looks good. Just don’t use stripes!! LOL
