Companion Quilts

At our church there are 2 brothers who grew up here, got married, and have come back to their home town.  They both started law school together this fall, and both of their wives are pregnant with their first child.  They are having baby boys within 6 weeks of each other.  I decided to make them quilts that both have their last name on them, but they will have a different theme.  I finished the first one today.  I went with the ocean theme on this one. 
 I think it turned out really cute for just coming up with it in my head, but I have only one irritation about it.  I've worked on this quilt for the last couple of days, and it's been overcast or kind of dark.  I've been using my white scraps to put together this quilt top, because I'm trying to get rid of a big bag of white scraps.  I didn't realize until I took it outside in the natural light that a couple of the scraps are actually off white.  Oops.  Boo.  There's not much I can do about it now.
