After some encouragement from Laura, I decided to finish this set of blocks. We are throwing a shower for the "giftee" next Friday, so I need to get these things done! Here are the pieces for the first one.
And here are the pieces for the second one.
I have a solid red block done, also, and it is for the third block. I plan to get the foam I need to fill the blocks on Friday. If I cannot find it, I will have to settle for Fiberfill, and the blocks just won't be as solid. I have a question for you because I need some advice. John has asked me to make a couple of blankets for one of his college friends whose wife is having twins. I met him (but not his wife) on the way back from our trip to Louisiana, and I was able to ask some pertinent questions. They are having twin girls, but they do not think they are identical, and they do not plan to dress them exactly alike. My question is, do you think I should make the same blanket twice, two different but similar blankets, or two very different ones? I really would appreciate your opinion, especially if you have twins. (Hint, hint, Marva!)
To see other works in progress, or to add your own, head over to the Place of H.

Just my personal opinion......
Our boys are fraternal, however, we do dress them alike. When they want to dress different we do (they don't dod this often). They like to dress alike and get upset if they aren't dressed alike (most of the time).
So, witht hat being said...... if they are NOT planning on dressing them alike, two different but similar blankets is what I would go with. Just my opinion though.
Let us know what you decide. I'm sure they will be beautiful and much appreciated. One of our favorite gifts for the boys were hm baby blankets.
Blessings!
The blocks are really cute. Maybe you could make the same blanket pattern in two different colors for the twins. One purple and one pink, or stripes in different colors.
Those are great ideas! Thanks, ladies!
I was going to say exactly what Mrs. H said -- one pink and one purple but the same blanket!
My poor boys. I dressed them alike (as recently as last Christmas) and they're not even twins,lol. I'm sure they'll love the blankets whichever way you decide to make them.
I am with the other commenters - same (or similar) patterns, with different colours. One pink with some cream, one cream with some pink, or pink / soft greens, etc.
Those blocks are really nice, Nikki. I can't wait to see them all finished!
