Block of the Month

I am up to date making these blocks!  Now to get caught up with the Civil War blocks...

Lil'Twister

I have been fascinated with the twister quilts, so I broke down and bought the small template.  I know I could have made it myself....but.  It was really fun, and I learned a few things.  Like don't use large scale fabric, don't use border fabric that is close to the color of a pinwheel at the edge.  It was difficult to get the hang of cutting around the template, so I made it easier by slicing off the little rubber feet that were glued to the bottom.  They were great to keep from slipping on the fabric, but not easy to maneuver the rotary cutter.  It probably needs a border, then quilting, for a table topper I guess!  Now I want to make a baby quilt of this size (5" squares) and then a bigger quilt using the 10" squares and the larger Twister template.

here is finished

ready for quilting! 

August flowers

good thing I took these pictures a few days ago, for yesterday when I went out to take pictures, there were no flowers blooming - they only last about a day. 

36 Squares finished

It's taken me 2 weeks to finish the last 6 squares, so now all I have to do is sew these together.  Might need to play around with the squares, but not really sure which ones to switch!

up to 25 blocks, I can't count: there are 30!!

the picture is kind of washed out, dim lighting in the room.

Thursday 25-36 blocks

needs rearranging, but getting there..
