How cute!


I don't mind coming to work. But that 8 hr. wait to go home is a drag.

Well then I did it again using the same layout but 3 1/2" squares and the itty tool from Primitive Gatherings. Finished size is 16 x 17 1/2. I bought the fabric for the hat for the first one and had enough left over for the second...all the orange is from my stash.

That is one cute twister!!! I had to laugh when I saw it, I don't know why, but I love Halloween things!! Maybe it's because of the imagination that you have to have to 'be' someone else when you dress up, or the fact that you can just let loose and play at this time of year - but I am a sucker for Halloween fabrics and things!!

So, Hats off to you!!! It looks great!! Big Grin

How fun! I love twister quilts. I did some table runners, too, but really like the fact that there is background between your "four patches." Very pretty. Love Halloween, too! Great job!

SandyO...glad this was brought up again I had already forgotten the Hat.

Love your table runner Mandy...I have one almost identical... except for the background color and I put a soft yellow/green in with the blues. So fun and easy to make.

Thanks, May, for posting the way you did your blocks. Here are some I did, but I like how you have sets of 4 then sewed them into a runner.

Seeing all of the twisters here and on KC album I think I'm ready to try one. I have had the tools for a over a year but been afraid to try. I feel brave now since You all tell me it's easy.
Thanks,


Sew, sew, and sew some more that's my motto!
