I used a Sizzix Big Shot and a flower die to cut the flowers I put on my quilt. It is similar to a AccuQuilt GO! Baby.

Have made 2 twister wreaths and really like them. My biggest problem is the cutting. I really have to contort my body to cut and I don't get a really good cut. What do you do to simplify cutting?

I love the border and how the applique' ties in with it. Great job!

lynnie 11-04-2011 09:04 AM

very pretty, i love the idea of adding applique to a pcd quilt, you did it great

AnitaSt 11-04-2011 09:09 AM

I really like your Twister version....much more inventive and I like the addition of applique. Nice job!

Joanie2 11-04-2011 09:39 AM

I love your twister. I just finished a small one using 30's fabrics but while I like it ok I'm not totally pleased with the fabric and color placement. When I see yours I see it in a whole new light that really makes it sing with the colors and
placement. When I started reading others' replies I saw your layout. Thank you so much for sharing it and your quilt. I was thinking there was no way I was going to make another Twister. You have just changed my mind and given me the encouragement to try again. That is what is so wonderful about this board -- everyone shares and inspires us to want to try something new or re-try something we thought was just not for us.

Latrinka 11-04-2011 09:39 AM

Awe, what an adorable quilt! Love the color combo!

mommamac 11-04-2011 09:48 AM

thanks for sharing your sketch - it's a huge help to us visual people.

pjnesler 11-04-2011 09:52 AM

Great idea! love the colors!

QandE2010 11-04-2011 10:44 AM

I loved the way you used the colors and assembled the blocks. Thanks for sharing.

carolynjo 11-04-2011 11:08 AM

Beautiful quilt! The gorgeous natural background helped set if off. You shoulc be proud of yourself for creating such a beauty.

Rosie the "Ripper" 11-04-2011 11:24 AM

I have been interested in making a little twister quilt - in fact, bought the template last week. Didn't know there were two sizes. What size did you use on your quilt? I bought the small template but am now wondering if I should have gotten the large.
Your quilt is beautiful. What size is it?

IdahoSandy 11-04-2011 11:27 AM

Your quilt beautiful and you are also so talented. You inspire me to try to make a twister.

I will usually bring a twister out the kitchen with my cutting mat and put it on my island. That way I can get around 3 sides easily.
