Ugh, done, I quilted the monster yesterday. Everything kind of went to you know where when I added the borders, which rippled, everything was so stretchy. Then I realized one side of backing was too short to flip for cheater binding and I had to add some fabric back on (thank goodness for the print, you really can't tell). I think it'll be good after a wash/dry. The thing that saved me from throwing the whole thing in the garbage was spray adhesive instead of basting/pinning, I love that stuff. I did SITD around some of the pinwheels & just outlined the borders. At any rate, I'm off to deliver it to the fire dept now & I hope it makes them some money & that someone I know wins it for a Christmas gift :)
Anyone else so totally tired of looking at a quilt after you finally finish it? This has got to go, no matter how much I thought I'd want one like it for myself, no way, lol! |
I love this quilt! It is beautiful. I have the twister on my Christmas list. Is this quilt made with the small twister or the large one?
|
It might have been a bear to do but it did turn out very pretty.
|
Love b/w especially when it's popped with red. You did a fantastic job. I just finshed one that I quilted fine, but had many problems when I sent out to a longarmer (will post story shortly).
I know they will love this quilt!! :-D |
WOW - looks so complicated - but very comfy! Hope it raises a lot of money. Thanks for showing this to us.
|
This quilt will surely raise lots of $$ for the fire dept. Love the fabrics - esp. the 'flames' of red
|
You may be sick of it but it's the prettiest one I have seen. Would like to enter the raffle because I would love the quilt. Can't see a thing wrong with it.
|
Very pretty.
|
Gorgeous work.
|
nice color choice and pattern design. tfs
|
one thing with these twisters, they are all on the bias and when putting on boarders you have to really measure thru the middle and make sure you don't get "lettuce leaves" as a quilt teacher once called it. Then it should lay quite flat...
|
I love it, but it looks really hard to make..beautiful.
|
I love this quilt. I have made a few of the twister quilts and I made three for xmas presents for nieces. I love how you did the inset piece intthe middle with the borders and how you did the other borders around the edges. I would have not thought of doing that. Looks great.
|
Beautiful job-I just finished a lap quilt for my husband-it is a hard pattern-to work with-everything must be in order
. |
Very cool! I really love the backing too!!!!
|
I love this quilt, oh I just can't wait for my twister tool to arrive in the mail, an early Christmas pressie from me to me :)
|
Very pretty!!!
|
it might have been a pain to make but you did a beautiful job!
|
You did a great job on this, it is sure to raise a lot of money :D:D:D
|
It is pretty and yes I too get tired of looking at the same quilt. Earlier this year I made three tops and used the same browns and oranges in all three. I was so tired of them I stuck them in the bottom of a box. Today my gd and dil pulled them out and thought they were pretty. I now have an order for a table runner and a stuffed dog from one of the oranges and one of the browns.
|
That is awesome. I love the pop of red in it.
|
I love it, turned out really pretty.
|
It's a very beautiful quilt, nice work! :thumbup:
|
it's Wonderful and, actually, the quilt really works with your bedroom. Perhaps you should hang onto it and offer something else to the fire department. lol...
|
It definitely has that WoW factor. Love it!!!
|
Thanks everyone, they liked it too. In fact someone else there tried to talk me into making 3 quilts for her grandkids, lol...she's a friend and it was hard to say no, but I did ;)
|
I would love this quilt too.
|
Love it, great job for a big quilt
|
It's a really fun looking quilt! Too bad it was such a pain in the neck for you!
|
Wow that is so cool. Love the pops of red.
|
I love it!!! Totally inspires me to get out my twisters and make a big one!!! Did you use the small one or the big one on it? Great job!!
|
Very pretty. :lol:
|
I think it's quite lovely. I promised a black and white quilt to my bff but haven't gathered up enough fabrics for it yet. She'd probably cut off her left arm for this beauty!
|
I think it's beautiful.
|
black and white with a touch of red...i really like it.. :thumbup:
|

|
