I took a cue from a fellow board member (IraJane) and graphed a jack ' o lantern then used the mini, mini twister tool to make this little Halloween treat. Even knowing there would be shrinkage from the first step to the final piece I was surprised. Really surprised! One suggestion for others who
may use the mini twister - press all seams open, it really reduces bulk in these 1" squares. The border has prairie points that point inward rather than like the traditional outward pointing ones.

The models are my grands - Gabriel is the 4yo with red hair, Elliott is the 18mo old with blond hair. I fondly call them Tootsie Roll and Jelly Bean.

I also finally have an avatar - it is my hand appliqued Vintage Valentine. It is not yet quilted because I can't decide on whether to hand or machine quilt it.

Beautiful.

Cute grands! The quilt is too.

oh my..that is a MUST do....awesome!!!!

Oh my goodness those are the cutest little boys, They are at a fun age, I am partial to little boys :)
Tootsie roll and jelly bean,even makes them cuter;)

Oh what cuties!! I love kids... shhhh don't tell anyone though I am always telling my kids and their friends that I hate kids LOL, they never seem to buy it... hmmm

Very neat quilt and excellent helper!

What a darling quilt and such cute grand kids.

Beautiful

The boys are adorable, and so is the quilt! Good job!

Oh love your pumpkin , dgs are so cute!

Nice idea and cute boys... ever think about doing placemats for halloween using this idea?

Cute Cute little grandsons. I love your twister quilt jack-o-lantern.

Cute little pumpkin but the little guys are the cutest!!

That is really cute. And what cute GS's you have

Such wonderful models you have there! I love the twister, too.

Thanks for the compliments, but, no, I will not be doing placemats! Too labor intensive and I would strangle the first person who spilled something on them!

Very adorable! boys AND pumpkin

Very cute. Love the cuties

Love the quilt and Tootsie Roll and Jelly Bean are adorable! :-D

Love it and the kids are beautiful. Would you explain how you charted the pumpkin-mine look terrible. Or would you mind sharing the chart. Thanks

All three are just the cutest! Thanks for sharing.

very pretty

Can I take a picture of the graph and have my son post it like a photo? Will that work? If so I would be glad to share.

That would be great, I really appreciate it.
Thanks, Peg

cute cute cute

I took two snaps of my Jack-'o-Lantern graph and all you can see is the black sqaures representing the facial features. Will see my sister tomorrow (she is the photographer!) and maybe she can offer some advice. Hangin there, I'll get it to you.

Thanks sorry you have to go thru all this trouble.

Peg

Don't fret. Really, I should make the effort to come out of the Dark Ages and learn how to take pics and post them!

Here's the graph I promised Peg.

LOOKS GOOD!

Cute grandsoons and quilt!
