So cute Twister

I wish this were a little larger, it's 53x60" - should I add borders??
Blue borders first, then a border made with scraps from cutting twisters..
I like this now, it measures 66x73

Flowers - September and October

This is my first year ever to grow dahlias, and I really love them.  More colors next year for sure.

Summer in the Park

This quilt uses a jelly roll, I used "Ruby" by Moda plus Kona white.  I think it's going to really be pretty!  I won't start sewing together until I have all the squares made.  You can find the directions for this and other quilts at the Missouri Quilt Company website.  http://missouriquiltco.com  
I just watched the video for "Serendipity" and now I want to make one of those!! check it out!
Here are all the squares ready to sew together:

Big Twister quilt

My next twister quilt before cutting it up.  I used a layer cake pack that I've forgotten the pattern of "Breath of Avignon"plus a few from my stash to add a row. 
PS:
Oh my gosh, I thought something looked unbalanced about this quilt! and when I started to cut it up I discovered what that was - the border needs to be 6" total!  So now I need to fix that by either taking off this narrow border and adding a 6" border, or maybe I can just add the measurement to make this one 6" - whatever is easier!  How dumb not to read the directions first!!!

Here is the top with enlarged borders, ready to cut up with the twister tool!
