Twin Safari Jungle Quilts for Twins

All finished this week and now on their way to 2 new bundles of joy!  These Jungle Safari cot quilts were a custom order made to tie win with a stunning mural that has be painted in the Nursery!  

Both almost identical except for a few squares here and there!  One binding was sewn in orange and the other in blue. 

It took much longer than usual for me to choose binding.  As I did not know when I was making them if the babies were girls or boys it was difficult to try and keep the binding neutral for any combination.  Eventually I settled on these Kona Solids to compliment and not distract from the quilts.

The backings are this cute Riley Blake fabric called "Life in the Jungle" - how fitting for these quilts.

The quilting was kept simple going with the direction of the squares to create a large grid.

Its all about the number 2!

So much is happening in my sewing room at the moment.  I am part way through custom order quilts for two new impending arrivals - twins - just two cute!

A safari jungle theme for this little pair.

Two quilt tops all ready for sandwiching, quilting and binding.

I have had not one but two projects featured in this months issue of Handmade - a pincushion and beaded fabric necklace.  These were part of a feature on Fete sewing gifts and projects.

It is always super exciting to see projects you have worked on, on the pages of magazines.  

With all the other projects I am working on at the moment being kept under wraps I thought I would share the colour inspiration for one of the projects - these beautiful Sulky Rayon threads. 

It make me smile as I sew.
