Thank you for all the positive comments! I only asked about the pattern being outdated because I showed this quilt at my LQS for show & tell, and the response was kind of muted. Maybe it was just that group of ladies. I personally like the pattern. I don't usually make the same pattern multiple times but I have on this one. I thought that the graphic nature of the pattern would be good for a baby quilt, since babies do like that sort of thing. The border came together from the scraps created from cutting the blocks. It may be a while before I make this pattern again, but nice to know it's not passe. :)

Everything old is new again and your version of the twister is amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing.

This quilt does have a "activity" going on - and the colors/graphics are great - but somewhat subtle - so I think this is one of those pieces that "gets better looking/more interesting" the longer one looks at it.

Great guy quilt! Love the colors from your stash!

I'm not sure how a quilt pattern can be outdated since many of the popular patterns have been around for over 100 years. I like your quilt. Nice colors. Good job.

Nice twister quilt.

I agree with everyone else about the no out of date quilts, only out of date colorways. This is a wonderful quilt and I like it a lot.

Agree....Twister patterns continue in popularity. I don’t take a poll on what I want to create. Love your quilt.

The borders complement the center - and I like your fabric choices.


The center has movement and the borders stabilize it. Nicely done!

As far as the pattern "being out of date" - I think your version is very modern looking.


My thoughts exactly. When I opened this message yesterday, I thought that this is one of the most lovely "twister" quilts I have seen. You used the colors, pattern and finish techniques beautifully.
