Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Cute, Holiday, Whimsical, Casual, Mod


Materials

A charm pack along with other fabrics from my fabric stash, a length of rickrack in variegated colors and the Li'l Twister tool.

What was your inspiration?

I was inspired by the Li'l Twister ruler and a Christmas Wreath quilt I found on the Internet. I also purchased a charm pack from Craftsy called Winterscapes and put it all together to come up with this quilt.

What are you most proud of?

I'm most proud that throughout the construction of this quilt, I did not have to reverse sew (a.k.a. ripping out sewn seams). It required a high degree of precision and concentration to keep all the pieces in order.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

A design wall is essential for this project because the pieces have to be cut and transferred to another surface immediately and every scrap has to be kept in sequence.

Love this. What is the finished size and what size twister tool did you use?

Thank you, Penelope. The finished size is 22-1/2" square. I used the 3-1/2" Li'l Twister tool.

You're most welcome, LateStartGma. The tool makes the whole process so easy! You cannot go wrong if you keep the printed letters consistently in the right hand corner as you cut your pieces. Let me know if I can help with anything. Best of luck!
