Cal & Cassie

Making baby quilts for twins is twice as nice. Calvin and Cassandra were born to a teaching friend of mine. They go by Cal and Cassie and here are their quilts…

I wanted them to be similar without being too matchy-matchy, so I went with the common theme of “plaid.” Cassie’s is a pattern from American Jane, called Merry Go Round. It is surprisingly easy to assemble- though I imagine it would be a pain to do a full sized one. This pattern would work perfectly with a set or two of some jelly roll strips. The fabric is a retired line from Three Sisters called Paris Flea Market.

And, yes. This was quite the bear to bind with those angles!

The quilt for Mr. Cal is a pattern that I made up, using some charm packs and some solid brown. The charm squares were from the Moda Chocolat line. I really like the strip of plaid on the back.

My friend, her husband and the two cuties moved over the summer to the southern corner of Missouri, so these are in the mail right now. I cannot wait to see a photo of the babies with their quilts!
