These quilts are one of those projects that I started out the year wanting to do. Even though I usually never want to make the same thing twice, it really was fun to make coordinating quilts for my boys. We are in the process of moving my younger son into the same bedroom with his older brother and I thought it would be nice for them to have an extra quilt to use at night since it's usually cold in their room.
I'm so happy to have both quilts finished and my boys love them! It's nice to know they really like something I've made for them.

This second Saltwater Taffy quilt is for my youngest son. Both the quilts have the same fabrics for the pinwheels but one has orange borders and the other has green.
Here are my silly boys. :) I usually only get smiles like the picture below!
I'm so glad I made the time to make them their quilts. My older son brings his out of bed to use every morning while waking up and watching tv. So cute!
And here's a bunch of pictures of the quilts together...
Thanks so much for following the progress of these quilts and for your kind comments and encouragement! Having a blog really helps me finish up all those projects I start. Thanks for being a part of it all.
I hope you have a great evening!

You make that look so good that I'm going to buy the pattern now.
They do look wonderful! And every time you walk into or by their room you will get to enjoy them.
Love the way these quilts came out! I just ordered fabric (grand finale) and the pattern for the Saltwater Taffy quilt last week! Can't wait to get it started!
so sweet! there is nothing like seeing your child wrapped up in the quilt you made just for him.
Those are both absolutely gorgeous!! Well done!
Great quilts - lucky boys!

Gorgeous quilts! They look so awesome together! And oh my goodness your boys are so adorable! Seriously sweet :)
Jessica,
I absolutely love your two quilts. I hope to make coordinating quilts for my girls one day. I just need to finish a few UFOs first. I'm in awe of your quilts. Congrats on a goal met!
Great job Jessica! They look amazing together!
Just wondering, did you add any fun fabrics (like the alien print) to the second quilt?

They look great! Gives me a little inspiration to finish my own Saltwater taffy. I've got the middle blocks done, need to do the edges now. They been sitting in a ziploc bag for at least 4 months....
Glad your boys are enjoying them and thanks for posting!!
