Four Alarm Frenzy? Fire It Up? Oh I can't decide!!!

This is quilt number 2 for Mrs. Thompson. She is having another boy and using the same fabric I needed to make another quilt, different enough that they would be able to tell them apart. The first one was all fire trucks and the quilting was all fire trucks. This time I quilted flames into the quilt. So the first one was TFD#1 (the fire department) and this one is the fire. I hope that it isn't indicative of their personalities. This one is backed in red, and the other in blue so there should be no question as to which is which. She also asked for a pillow sham, so I made two because there will be two boys and I've learned from experience that they argue over things and they will both need one.

Here's the message I attached to the quilt:

I made the plain sham first, and then realized that my boys fight over everything and if there was one there had to be two. I found some scraps from the last quilt and used those to make the second sham – which actually matches the first quilt nicely. This way there are two quilts and two shams. When I made the first quilt the fire trucks were very much in my mind, this time it was the fire. I made flames and little fires all over the quilt. When I was done I realized that this really reflected my boys personalities, the fire and the one who puts them out. Thanks so much! It was so fun to work with the same fabric and do something completely different with it. I hope you love it as much as I do!
