What a great Whirlygig project for you and the neighborhood kids. Maybe you will inspire a couple of them to become quilters. So nice of you to do this for the women's shelter. Give yourself a pat on the back!!!

Twisted sisters by Ami Simms. Go to her website and look at pictures from the WORST quilt ever competition. The narrative is hilarious!

Thank you!

It's a tesselated block. I've quilted several of these.

I'm glad others where able to identify the pattern - I just wanted to say what a great thing you are doing with the blocks and how wonderful the neighborhood teens are to help!
