| My first Twister quilt! Woot | Sign In/Join |
 |
I went to a Summer Quilt retreat this past weekend, Thur-Sun. It was held at www.quiltagiousquarters.com in Celeste, TX. We had so much fun, there were 9 of us. I had never made a Twister quilt before, I used the large twister template and discovered it was so easy if one takes the time to cut, piece and press correctly. I used Texas themed fabric from the Quilt Across Texas fabrics from 2011. I am ready to make another one and also make one with the small Twister ruler.  | ||

Very nice...what size is it? verry nice "People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." Elizabeth Kubler-Ross | |||

That's a beautiful quilt. I love the fabrics you used. I've only made a small twister piece & it was fun to do. It sounds like you had a blast at the retreat. Thanks for sharing the picture with us. Nicki We live in the home of the free...because of the brave. | |||

lovethosequilts. . .it measures out to 66 x 66. I used a 6 1/2 on first border and a 6 1/2 inch border on the second border. I had a Kate Spain Fresh Flowers layer cake and I sewed those blocks together to make another Twister top, just need to find the borders. I would love to make one using baby themed fabric for a quick baby quilt gift. | |||

Great Twister...sounds like you had a ton of fun too.... May "In Michigan" | ||||

Very nice!! Love the layout! my philosophy: there are no real mistakes in quilting, just design opportunities!! | |||

I really like making twister quilts. I have a top ready for quilting - baby quilt size. And Halloween fabrics in the larger size for a throw. Glad you're hooked! Sounds like your retreat was fun too. The retreat center seems like a nice place. Did y'all cook or have your meals catered? | |||

Nice quilt. I've been hearing a lot about these twister quilts lately. Makes me want to try one. Can you get the twister ruler at Joanns? | |||

Love it! Aren't those great? They work up so quickly too. "Never be afraid to try anything new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." Unknown. | |||

Texana I used that Fresh Flowers 5" charms in a bed runner made with 10 minute bloxks and bordered with the jelly roll strips - I am looking forward to seeing your twister made with that fabric - it's just plain BRIGHT and CHEERY. Love the twister you are showing here, well done. I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me. Wounded Warrior Project www.woundedwarriorproject.org | |||
