    Yeah, there are times, they just don't get it, do they. Now my hubby thinks I am crazy for saving all those little scraps, then tells me I am nuts when I do something tiny with them, lol... We quilters live in our own little worlds, don't we! LOL!

    Yay me! It's just finished and on the wall. Hubby really loves it, which is a shock as he usually tends towards the more traditional colors and blocks, but I'm not complaining. :wink:
    There were several firsts on this project for me and now I am glad I took the time to do them. I broke in my new machine with this one, Brother SQ9000(LOVE IT!!), also pressed every stinking seam after sewing and pinned like crazy to keep em all lined up. It is SITD around every stinking pinwheel and the border. I think I will end up adding a few colored buttons on some of the darker fabrics to bring it out more. I wanted to call it "Chaos" since that is what it looks like to me but hubby and DD said it has an organized look and reminds them of the first signs of spring the way the yellows pop out at ya so, went with "Hints of Spring" instead.

    Sometimes I name them, most of the time I don't.. is that "normal"? What do ya guys do? Name them all or not? LoL! Sorry, just wondering. Thanks for the tons of info I found to get this done QB and also for the nice comments.

    Great job! I have both sizes of the Twister tools and I haven't tried them out yet. I love to see everyone's quilts for inspiration.
