Derby & The Bug In The Jar Quilts

 It's Sunday morning and Derby is relaxing

after a nice big breakfast.

 With not a care in the world.

 He looks so comfy ... I wish I would have slept in this morning.

 For the twins Alex & Owen the

Bug in the Jar quilt pattern.

These guys are so darn cute!

 When I talked with the twins mom she mentioned that

the quilts should be similar but different enough so

each boy would know which quilt was his.

 That was easy to do by using their favorite color

for the background ... but I also wanted to

change it up just a little more.

 Both of the quilt backs are the same.  Deb

and I had so much fun finding all this

fabric on our last shopping trip to PA.

 Here are a few little things I did with the

fabric placement.  First, all the center jars are in the

exact same place but what I did for the side 

jars was reverse them.  What jar was on the

right on one quilt was on the left in the other.

 Out of all the fabric ... only two jars have the same fabric

but it's a different print fabric in each quilt.

 Then for the side rectangle borders I placed one

so the patterned fabric design faced into the quilt and

on the other quilt the patterned faced out.

And each quilt was placed in its own pillow case.

I won't know how the boys like their quilts since they

are at the beach on vacation this week.  They

will have a nice surprise waiting for them

when they get back.
