I didn't accomplish anything new yesterday so I hope you will enjoy the picture of the 2 of them together.I liked Wilkal's comment yesterday, that my journey through this second quilt on my blog was like taking a walk with a trail guide.

Fraternal twins
I have twin girl cousins that are fraternal twins, not identical. My 2 quilts are like they are. They came from similar blocks but their personalities and coloring are different.

What a great photo to compare the quilts You can tell the 2 quilts are related but each has it's own personality. One quiet and the other bold.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I thought I would prefer the "softer" quilt. I love the way you varied the color of the inner border. But I am absolutely MAD about the "busier" beachball quilt!
ReplyDeleteYes, fraternal twins. One is introverted, one extroverted. But both charming.

It is truly amazing, starting with the same idea and fabrics and watching how different they can actually be. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose 2 quilts are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great example to how you can take 2 sets of very similar blocks and make two totally different quilts.

I love them...the same (sort of) but very different...I love that! Fraternal twins is a very good analagy. The seeds came yesterday. Thanks so much! It looks like there's enough to plant a whole grove;)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness but there's no perspetive on the internet! I would have thought they were the same size!
ReplyDeleteTwins for sure but oh I love the beach ball one! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI voted for quilt # 1 ~ But then Beach Ball ~ just pushed no #1 to the side for me.
ReplyDeleteTo me the beach balls are not beach balls but those cellophane wrapped hard candies. (peppermint, spearmint, blueberry etc.) And the fabric in the squares are those cylinder hard cut candies we have in our candy dishes at Christmas. 'SWEET AS SUGAR' this one is to me.

I love this photo of your two quilts! The same, yet different! Comparing them to fraternal twins is a good analogy. I love both of them! They each have their own personality.
ReplyDeletethey are both great and so colorful - love them

Love seeing them together. Both are so beautiful. similar in block and so very different in pattern/color. You did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteThe quiet twin and the outgoing twin! Both beautiful in their own way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful but my heart belongs to the wild one on the right!
ReplyDeleteI agree with several others. I didn't think I would like the beach balls with these, but it is gorgeous. Makes me rethink some of my busy fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like them both. The smaller one has sort of a wonky look because of the different size of the blocks.I love that about it. Blocks don't always have to be the same.
Wanda, the quilts are wonderful! You know, I think that's the very best use of the Kaffe beachball fabric I've ever seen. I really enjoyed your quiltmaking process!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly look quite differnt together!
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but I think the one on the left is my favorite.... not that you asked. ;)
ReplyDeletei like both, but i'm really taken with the beachball one. it looks to me like those blocks are swimming in a churning ocean of color. fantastic!
