Robin's Double Quilt Order - Pt 1

Around the end of November, a friend from bootcamp approached me and asked if I was willing and able to make a baby clothes quilt for each of her two daughters.  Her daughters are both college age but she wanted to make something from their old clothes and beloved blankies to give them.  I have done double quilt orders before but this one was a little different because she wanted to use most of the same clothing for each quilt.

You might notice that although the two quilts are VERY similar, they aren't exactly the same.  Some of the quilts are marked with a piece of blue painters tape.  There were some outfits that were only for use in one quilt or the other.  So I marked one quilt with a blue strip on unique clothes, the other quilt got a blue x for unique items.  That way I didn't end up with the wrong clothes in one of the quilts.  Robin also gave me a valance from their baby room and I figured out I had enough fabric to do the quilt borders for both quilts from it.  It's shown as a long strip in the pics above but once cut it will go all the way around both quilts.

Now it's time to carefully plan out my final sizing and layout to make sure there is enough of each outfit to be used twice (once in each quilt).  Additionally, she wants me to use their blankies in the quilt but then somehow repair them so they can be returned to the girls as well, wish me luck!
