I didn't mean to scare anyone from doing this. It is mostly just time consuming. It isn't that complicated. It just take so long to sew the blocks together then cut little squares out of every single corner. It really turned out nice, so I think it was worth it. I think I will try a Christmas tree or wreath sometime.

Nicely done. Your DD will think of you when she uses it, I bet.

Really cute! I bought the twister template a few years back & still haven't used it. I was going to make Christmas stockings with the template that I also bought the pattern at the same time. I had good intentions but too many quilts to make & just not enough time

I agree with you. For so much work invested I would want it to be able to be enjoyed for a long, long time.

That is such a pretty pumpkin! Know what you mean about the twister, I have the small template, finally got it out, made one small piece, maybe enough for a pillow covering! Haven't used it since, but would like to do the christmas tree or a wreath someday.

Love your twister Jack-O-Lantern. I made one this year also but did something very wrong in either the cutting or twisting (or both) because mine looks like Picasso Pumpkin - a nose here - an eye there. I am too embarrassed to post a photo of it, but I am keeping it as a reminder of what not to do. Yours is wonderful!

I have only done the heart twister. It was easy and a lot of fun. Then I did the mini heart from the left over scraps. I don't have a camera so I can't post a picture. Now I want to do the wreath. Yours turned out great but looks more involved than the heart and wreath. I'm sure she will enjoy using it.
