I have been working on this Twister quilt for the past few weeks. The quilting is completed now and I am ready to bind. Maybe tonight.
When you make this quilt, you have squares left over in between your cuts that are approximately 4.5" - 5" so I squared them up to 4.5", sewed them together and then used the little ruler I adapted to make the
mini Twister last summer to cut a small twister border.
I was trying to get a good pic of the little twister border, but it doesn't show up that well here. They would show up better with a bit more contrast in the background fabric, but I wanted to use the same as I used in the quilt so they would float. You will just have to take my word for it, they are really cute!
The quilting panto is called Oriental Illusions. I like it because it is a nice
allover design. It reminds me of the tops of palm trees, or maybe even claws. I used a variegated gold/green thread. I am going to bind it with the same fabric as the back.
Oh I really like this quilt.. the quilting is perfect and the little twisters in the border set it off.. I can see them just fine.
ReplyDeleteI love it too....love seeing it on the frame as well.
ReplyDeleteI've had fun using my Lil Twister tool....have the one that you use with 5" squares. I think I'm going to get the bigger one, too.
