Twister quilt
2 Attachment(s)
I was asked to make a twister quilt. I was showen a picture of a quilt that someone had done. I thought it would be really hard. I started looking and found the twister ruler. OMG i think its my favorite Quilt todo at the moment. I just dont like the amount of waste from doing the quilt. but the effect is worth it. This is the sample I am made.[ATTACH=CONFIG]518074[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]518075[/ATTACH] I am gonna finish this and use it cover a end table or put it in the center of my table.

That came out great. Love the gingham. I also have a thing about the waste with the twister tool. You can square them up & sew them back together, but if youa re into minis, they also make a teeny tiny twister that you can use to recut

I've done a couple. They are fun and kind of addicting too :-) Nice job on yours.
|
that came out really great with all the ginghams.
|
nicely done

The Twister can be made with another technique, for those who don't have the tool. Cut 4 Squares of different fabrics, say 6 inch x 6 inch. Stack them. Mark each side at 2 inch, and 4 inch (each side is marked into thirds) then use your plastic ruler and rotary cutter to cut your stack into 4 pieces. Cut across from the 2-inch mark to the 4-inch mark along the opposite side. Cut from the 4-inch mark to the 2-inch mark along top to bottom. You will end up with 16 identical pieces, which you then mix and swap around to make 4 new squares. Lay them out so that the pinwheels appear. Stitch. Then trim to perfect squares (now about 5 1/2 inch x 5 1/2 inch). These trimmed squares will make your row. Do your entire lay-out before you sew the rows. I learned this technique from Benita Skinner several years ago.

This is great.

Cute Twister in gingham!
|
That twister is certainly a lovely pattern.
|
Great quilt! I love how the twister quilts turn out.. I just don't know about the waste. I have to think about it some more before I try one
|
Thanks Yonnikka for the other method to make a twister. I like the gingham too.
|
Cute gingham twisters.
|
I used that material cause I have lots of that material. As for the waste to you end with 2" squares. Great to save for a different project. I am out of room to save at this point. I am making another one lap size in flag prints for a thank you gift.
|
real nicely done
|
Wow that came out nice.
|
I made that with a home made ruler I saw online. Wanted to see if I could do it before I bought the real ruler. Since I can do I did go out and buy the real one. Glad I did.
|
I have the Twister ruler but haven't used it yet. I've been saving up gingham to make a quilt and this may be the pattern I use after seeing yours.
|
I agree with Tartan. CUTE quilt using gingham checks!
|
Joan Hawley has a pattern that looks like a twister without using the ruler. It's YouTube and Joan Hawley Lazy and Lovin it. She does a demonstration on Kaye Wood show.

Beautiful.
|
Nicely done. I would probably not have put that much gingham together, thanks for showing me the possibilities.
|
I'm not sure I've ever seen gingham look so good!!
|
It looks great
|
That is very nice....
