    Default My version of a Christmastwister quilt
    I recently went to a quilting weekend with my sister and sister-in-law, and my sister was lucky enough to win an 8 inch twister ruler. AND she let me bring it home to use first. So, I dug out my Christmas fabrics and found 3 different light fabrics and 5 each of the red and green. The first picture is the beginning quilt top. I had seen a twister on the board, where the gal had used light fabric between the darker fabrics and I really liked the effect, so that is what I did.

    The picture below is the beginning top

    The picture below is the finished quilt

    Enjoy looking

    This is so pretty. It just boggles my mind to understand how it works. Great job!

    LOL...I am right now taking a brief break from putting together a twister quilt. So your thread intrigued me and I love your results! I like that you showed it before and after twisting.

    beautiful holiday quilt! I like the contrast of the bright and light fabrics and the consistent border. The twister is really a fun tool.
