Here is one I have been working on for a while, because I wanted it to be bigger than the original center part. It took some searching to find more charm squares but finally got them. The finished size is 42"X 48", a good lap size. The fabric around the edges is a mottled yellow & white. I could only get the stripe and the green in yardage, so to add color to the border I simply cut charm squares in half. The back is a yellow batik. Oh, I used the 3 1/2" template I made out of plexiglass.

Thanks everyone. There are 99 twisters, plus the charm squares for the border, so it is not a cheap project to do. I used 3 packs. I would love to do a larger bed size but you would need at least 5 packs.

Just love to do this technique!

Great quilt.

That's great! I really like the row of pinwheels around the edge and the rectangle outer border is perfect. So cheery!

Grann of 6, Your twister quilt is so pretty. I love that pattern!
I've tried a small one, but plan a larger one.

Wow...your colors are just brilliant in this quilt! And the white background really makes them pop! Beautiful quilt!

grann of 6 08-08-2011 12:30 PM

Thanks so much, everyone for all the compliments. The collection is called Natural Garden by Holly Taylor for Moda. It is discontinued now, so I had a heck of a time finding more of them once I decided what I was going to do. This is a good example of why we should over-purchase when we get fabric or charm squares. From now on I will buy at least 2 of any collection I add to my stash. And I will get more than one yard of coordinating pieces.

redquilter 08-08-2011 12:34 PM
