I wasn't sure how they would look together or to be honest how they would be received either!!! But she absolutely adored them and they do look fab in her sitting room. I didn't blog about them but they are in my instagram feed if you have the energy to go a searching xx<br />Sophie Belle Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410272414805961481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-42041944969046767502015-02-08T03:37:20.732+00:002015-02-08T03:37:20.732+00:00What a bout making the same blocks from the quilts...What a bout making the same blocks from the quilts but swapping the colors, that way they match but are the different colors? It's hard to tell the colors, but is there blues and greys i both quilts? If so, you could also just use the both blues and combine them.Missy Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209549470700130606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-30837341763718751712015-02-07T19:26:49.205+00:002015-02-07T19:26:49.205+00:00Both quilts are gorgeous!

I think I would make a block like the one I have called four lips here http://sewmeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/last-two-blocks.html and make the green the small square and alternate the other colours on each cushion so that one has a red centre cross and the other a blue, though both cushions will have both colours in. Might make moe sense if you look at the block. And, if you are interested in the block I can look to see of I have my maths notes somewhere to send you. Just an idea but I'm sure you will come up with something beautiful no matter what you decide.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968403337120714399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-62670726674760499602015-02-07T03:42:15.042+00:002015-02-07T03:42:15.042+00:00I think this is a hard problem.

I was thinking if you made one with the string block from your Dad's quilt and one with the squares set on point from your mom's quilt they would go with both. But on the other hand, if your mom wants cathedral windows, then I wonder if one strings and one cathedral windows would work too? Both the quilts really are wonderful.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285223648285145607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-5200165062894951002015-02-06T20:37:34.518+00:002015-02-06T20:37:34.518+00:00Maybe alternate economy blocks with pinwheels: pul...Maybe alternate economy blocks with pinwheels: pulling shapes from bith quilts.<br />Estheripatchandquilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982452075020986135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-63948487403555903382015-02-06T19:27:54.895+00:002015-02-06T19:27:54.895+00:00not suggesting anything in particular but I really...not suggesting anything in particular but I really love your dad's quilt.

Perhaps a square of red and white toile, small frame of red, then a frame of warm tan, medium blue piping, warm brown backing. Or a variation thereof.

Quilter's families really are quite fortunate, aren't they? I was looking at the two quilts and three colors popped for me-a soft gray, soldier blue, and cranberry. If it were me, I'd rather have two different pillows just for interest. Enjoy making them!Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/10019813216009291474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-75331579324637039952015-02-06T12:22:33.556+00:002015-02-06T12:22:33.556+00:00They earthy colours have me thinking something app...They earthy colours have me thinking something applique like a tree with a red swing or a some red flowers?

I don't know block names but I think that would work. It would mix up the colors a bunch.

I'd also be tempted to go for the same design for each cushion, but change the colour placement.
