This is the first twister I've liked enough to want to make one. It's a lovely quilt and will make someone who needs comforting feel very warmed. Our congregation ties ours and prays for the person as the tie is done. Do you add ties to your quilting? My quilt made with a male in mind is being tied this week.
Very pretty quilt!

Your quilt turned out very nice and pretty in spite of all your problems with it. I, too, like it much better than most of the twister quilts I have seen. You did a great job and should be proud of it and someone will get a lot of enjoyment from it.

Yes I like this layout also, because each pinwheel stands on its own, rather than standing shoulder to shoulder on top of each other.....The lay out is very simple one white one color, one white one color, then on the next row start with a color then a white, that way they are staggered (or offset)....If I can help in any other way please PM me and I will walk you thru it. The most important suggestion I can offer you is 'KEEP THEM IN ORDER'....I didn't and it took me hours to un-do my mess.....My other suggestion would be in the beginning, use a pencil and mark around your template, do several over and several on the next row down, so you can see just how close they are, and you wouldn't get too aggressive with your rotary cutter....
