Twin Sisters is the name of this quilt. I was invited to a quilt demonstration by the chicadee quilters of Bridgeton last spring and this was one from the featured book. The demonstrator is the sister of Eleanor Burns a famous quilt designer and she is a designer as well.

the blocks are made with sets that are opposite each other, hence the name Twin Sisters. It's a trick to find a match.

I chose blue....because I love it....and had odd bits around. When it was done, I hated to part with it but it has to go! It is a wedding present for a former employee, she worked for us for 7 years!


Take Five is the name of this one.....done in the crib size. I had to show the backing fabric....just too cute!

This is for my nephew Matt's new baby, Blake, born in July of 06. Two of the fabrics were so similar that it's difficult to see the distinction in the photo but overall it's pleasing anyway. I added the thin red folded border to help set it off.

I have enough left over to make another one from just the first cut so..... Who Will Be Next?
