Bright happy colors that are not gender specific would be my choice. There are so many wonderful ones out there would be a shame to stick with the traditional ones when you are not certain of the sex of the babies.

I was thinking that I would make one green quilt. What color would you make the other quilt?
I am thinking of making Log Cabins, one each of two different designs.

Be sure to post pictures when you are done. Red is my very favorite!

Willferg - I love your design and I have always loved orange and navy together, it would be a great color combination.
Sallyjane - I will bow to your superior experience. I still like the idea of a floral log cabin however it makes me nervous to assume that one of the babies will be a girl. No matter how cute it might be to dress twins alike, the mom isn’t a dress them alike type person. These will be fraternal twins and as a teacher I appreciate it when parents allow twins to develop their individuality.
At the risk of short circuiting the creativity that is flowing here I have to say that the decision has been made. The Reds have it. The mom has a den that is painted in Chinese Red. She will be converting it to a nursery and is going to leave it red. I think that Red and White will be the combination of the day. I may add a touch of black or blue if I can match the blue color that is accenting in the room now. This discussion has been such fun, thank you for all of your wonderful suggestions and I will keep you posted.
