I bought the template and finally got around to using it. What a fun quilt to make! And a fabulous way to use up scraps!

​Cute twister!

QuiltnNan 10-02-2019 04:15 PM

nicely done

toogie 10-02-2019 04:47 PM

Very nice! I really like it. Is the first photo the back or another quilt?

Teddybear Lady 10-02-2019 09:41 PM

I have the template but have never used it yet. Seeing your quilt inspires me to try it. Love the fabric choice. Looks great!

sewingitalltogether 10-03-2019 02:32 AM

Oh, one of my favorite patterns. Great colors. Have used this pattern in several different sizes.

Striking colors, very nice!

I made my own twister templates years ago, and made several quillts and table toppers. I need to get them out again and make a couple more. Yours is really cute. I love how different it looks once the blocks are cut.

Very nice, and great colors!

Oh, wow!! Purple seems to be "the" color nowadays and this worked up wonderfully well. I'd been noticing lately that there was a lack of the twister designs but here's one. Maybe they are coming back. Lots of fun but do not get them out of order! Been there, dun that!

Bright and lively! Great work.

juliasb 10-03-2019 05:02 AM

Two very pretty quilts well done. Twister is a work of art!

KalamaQuilts 10-03-2019 05:09 AM

excellent choice of fabrics, great play of light and dark across the quilt

Homespun 10-03-2019 05:11 AM

Wow, very pretty!

bibi 10-03-2019 05:54 AM

This is really incredible. Your quilt is terrific!

nlgh 10-03-2019 07:34 AM

I like the combination of blocks before cutting them up and the twister does not look like it came from the first one. Simply gorgeous. I don't know which one I like best.

Jordan 10-03-2019 08:11 AM

Such a pretty quilt. I had the twister templates and gave them to a friend. I felt it was very complicated for me. You did a wonderful job.

ekuw 10-03-2019 08:34 AM

That large print fabric works really well in the twister format. Great colors, great quilt!

SueZQ from MN 10-03-2019 10:45 AM

I have a twister started in Christmas fabrics, but haven't started cutting the twisted blocks yet. Your colors are wonderful and the finished piece is fantastic. If mine turns out even 1/2 as well as yours, I'll be happy.

Hopefully the second one, since the first one doesn't exist anymore hahahaha

Very striking quilt, Marion! You did a great job. I like the fabrics you chose.

Very nice. Great colors! I made a twister jack one year and it turned out cute.

Jingle 10-04-2019 12:59 PM

Very gorgeous with those colors.

rryder 10-04-2019 01:34 PM

Nice Twister!

Really nice twister quilt---love the colors.

That's so cool! Love that you showed us the "before" pic.

I would have been a nervous wreck cutting up the original top. How much did the quilt shrink from its original size?

SusieQOH 10-05-2019 07:14 AM

Oh how lovely! I also have the tool and haven't used it yet. Thanks for the reminder :)

anonymous 10-05-2019 07:53 AM

Your quilt is awesome!! The colors are so striking that both ways were pretty, but the twister sure takes the quilt to a new level. Great job!

sewingpup 10-05-2019 08:01 AM

I have several sizes of the twister....they are fun...I think they shrink at least 1/3 in size if I remember correctly. I do think they are fun....when I made the bedsized one with the largest template, I did it at the local quilt shop so I could pushe the tables in the classroom toether as the top was pretty big before I cut it....the smaller sizes are fun...but kind of putzy....and I had to use the smaller sized router cutter on them.....the woman who invented the technique lived near me and I visite that little shop often...it has closed now...I miss it...

sue.ross.8782 10-05-2019 08:08 AM

Snappy! What a transformation.;)

i didn't measure it before, but it was a 7x7 block (5 inch squares) with a three inch black border (don't forget the 1/4 inch seam when you are calculating LOL)

finished it was 23x23

redquilter 10-05-2019 04:32 PM

Great colors. You did a fantastic job. I've had the template for longer than I care to say and maybe one day I'll even use it. If I make a quilt 1/2 as good as yours, I'll consider it a success.
