Twister Quilt...Passe or not?
 

This is the third twister quilt I have made. The other two were made several years ago. Do you this this pattern is outdated? I ended up choosing this pattern for a couple of reasons. Like many of the patterns I choose, I try to pick a pattern that I can shop my stash on. So that was one reason. I had several one yard cuts that I thought would work (the greens & the black) and I had a smattering of the right shade of blue. Also I knew this pattern would finish as a square since I have made it before. I wanted a square because I had a 60 inch square package of batting (Hobbs Tuscany Wool) that I got at a great price and wanted to use. That said it was my first time using the wool batting and it sure has a nice loft to it. If you are looking for a puffy batting I definitely recommend it. This quilt has no particular recipient at this time but I thought it leans toward "juvenile boy". Always good to have a finished quilt on hand in case the need arises. :)

I think your quilt is really nice and it met all your criteria, surely would make a great gift for a guy! Sounds like a win all the way around. Sometimes its just good to have a go to pattern

I think it is one of the more interesting (that is meant as a compliment!) versions of twister. I like it!

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As far as the pattern "being out of date" - I think your version is very modern looking.

I don't think there's such a thing as an out-of-date pattern! Your quilt is great!

Oh i love yours. maybe it is the color lay out but it really is great looking!

Your quilt is beautiful! I love those borders.

beautifully done

Beautiful! Yours is the most interesting Twister quilt I have seen. Certainly not passe.

Terrific quilt! Lots of movement in the center, and borders. Nicely done!

I’m not sure a pattern can be out of date with the right fabric. I’ve only been quilting for about 15 years and it seems like every time I open a quilt mag at the store, there’s a churn dash quilt pattern inside. They just use different fabrics to make it seem more modern. Your quilt is wonderful.

Your quilt is beautiful. I really like the borders too.

I really,like this Twister quilt. The colors are terrific and yiur choice if borders is perfect. I’ve never seen thus type of a birder in a Twister and it really works well. What a great job!!!!

That would make a great baby blanket. Babies love graphic designs.

No not outdated at all. Love your choice of colors and pattern layout.

I'm working on a twister quilt now. My third one. Yours is beautiful!

I like everything about it.

I love it! I would love to have it ... and I'm not a little boy! I'm a little old lady! :)

Really beautiful! It's perfect!

I admire the way you planned ahead and used your stash and batting on hand to make this twister quilt. I like the way you chose the color value placements of your blocks. I really like the patchwork borders that frame the twister center. Blue is my favorite color. I think boy or girl would be thrilled with this quilt. As for the pattern being dated, I think it will never go out of style.

The Twister pattern is one of my favorites. Yours looks great. Its one of the only patterns that I've repeated over and over. Many different sizes. And couldn't do without my quilt in a wool batting. Some lucky kid will enjoy your quilt.

A pattern never goes out-of-date! Look at Grand mothers flower garden! Use all your patterns.

Since I love 30’s and Civil War reproduction quilts I don’t think a quilt ever goes out of style! Your Twister is lovely!

I don't think any patterns are outdated. Just think of all the old patterns we still use and love!
You twister quilt is awesome! I have the template and forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder.

I don’t think it is passé. Like everyone else, I like the feel of movement. Especially the wavy quilting lines. Thanks sharing.

I like it very much, nice job!

not passé. I haven't used my ruler yet :)
I absolutely love the seasonal ones, so cute. Not sure anything quilt-wise goes out of style, it all just gets reinvisioned.

Not outdated at all, it is a beautiful quilt and I love the colors. Great job.

I agree with the others, not outdated. Only some of us who are quilters follow the trends and know what's current. Outside the quilting world, not so much.

I do have sort of a funny story to tell. I have quilts planned on my bucket list that have taken years for me to get the skills or the fabrics or the time. Way back when I first started quilting (so early 80s), I wanted to do a Houndstooth. Never saw one in person, not at a show, not in a book, just the pattern block. So about 20 years later I was finally ready to get started and M'liss Rae Hawley came out with her Fat Quarter book and there it was and so I took it off my list. I was telling my friend at quilt guild the story and the lady in front of us was cracking up -- turns out it was M'liss who was our featured speaker.

I ended up making the top about a year or so ago (so another 20 years), after all this time nobody knows or cares the story!

Loving it; great pattern and beautiful quilt.

It is so pretty. You do lovely work.

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. :)

Your quilt is lovely!!

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.

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.
