My daughter had her triplet girls 14 yrs ago come Sept. I did not make baby quilts as I was too busy making every thing else X 3 but a few years later I made their quilts based on the colours of their favorite disney princess. That worked great and I did a D9P as that was about all I could do at the time. They love them and if their colour likes change, they just trade.......so one was in shades of gold, one in pink and one in greens.....Patty

I just made three Sun Bonnet Sue crib quilts for a friend's granddaughters. Each one has a different large medallion Sue block dressed in "their" colors. There are smaller blocks matching their sister's Sue block in the top and bottom corners. They also have other smaller assorted blocks but the only ones that are in all three are the ones like the medallions.

Interesting. My daughter chose green, pink and yellow. Her now toddler daughter is already purple. Here are the tops all finished but now I am stumped on how to quilt them. I went with the sunbonnet Sue as some one suggested and used many 2 1/2 inch squares as I have a good amount of scraps plus some friends gave me more 1930s scraps to help me out.

I've loved all the wonderful suggestions given in this thread. I am the happy mother of triplets. They are 33 years old now and I'm still trying to figure out how they got so old. We thought of them as blessings and I can say I enjoyed each day of raising them. So now I'm sending special "blessings" to your family.

D9P. Each in a diferrent color. Mint green, buttrty yellow and aqua. You coud do the colored parts scrappy with a constant in center of each nine patch..maybe dove grey? D9P is my favorite quick pattern and it looks complicated. I often dona 2" solid border then a piano key border using the colored scrsppy fabrics.each quilt will be a different color but the grey will be in each them to tie then yogether as triplet group

Pictures of the quilted triplet quilts
Here are pictures of the quilts finally quilted. I gave the quilts some time ago but just did not get to posting the final pictures. DD liked the quilts. the triplets are now well over 10 lbs and doing well. They are a little more prone to respiratory issues but not too bad.

Turquoise sure is pretty. Do you think I should use all three colors in all three quilts and then just more of each one of the colors in each quilt? So one predominantly turquoise, one predominantly pink and one predominantly purple but still use a little of all three colors in each quilts? Should I use the same or very similar patterns or an unique pattern for each quilt? Thanks for your input and warm wishes!
Same pattern, each one with a different colored border/color emphasis.
