Twisting…Twisting..Twisting the Night Away…

I got the Christmas Lil’Twister out last night night and finished putting the last BIG stitch into it…She is now ready for binding!!  {Insert ‘Happy Dance’ here!!}

This was a VERY fun quilt to make and was VERY easy too!  I will definitely be making more of these..Love those little interlocking li’twisters!P1160834

Thought you’d like to see a close-up of those BIG stitches…I used a beige variegated Valdani perle cotton.

Now my question is this…is my Christmas quilt 11 1/2 months EARLY or 1/2 a month too late?  I didn’t have a table for this table topper to go on this year, so let’s go with EARLY…makes me sound SEW organized and SEW efficient…don’t you think? :)

Have a Woolly Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. That pattern is a great one and turned out great in Christmas prints. Beautiful. Hand quilting really is the best, isn't it?? A friend of mine at home made a 'twister' from the mini template. Darling!

  14. Absolutely it is early. The past is past and nothin' we can do about it!

    Speaking of the past, do you remember I suggested one time that you give a tute on the Big Stitch? I would still love for you to show us. I don't know anyone around here that can show me. You are sew good at it!

  15. A lot of the ladies at our last couple quilt retreats have made those twister quilts--we all said, "it sure is a shame to make a whole quilt then cut it up again!"

  16. I love how you hand quilted it - what a great way to show off the twisters. I say go with being done early :). Sure am enjoying all of your show and tell. Looking forward to your quilt report from the Road to CA. On my bucket list :)

  17. I like your twister. I made two with the larger twister and I love that they look so tricky to the non quilter but I know they are really easy. I also outlined my twisters and loved the way they looked, but I FMQd them and my lines weren't as true as yours. I really like the colors you used.
