I Love This Tool ~
and . . . it's so easy to use!
I have it available to Purchase here ~
https://donnasintheattic.com/collections/notions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Along with the tool you will get the Pattern for this Quilt.
You will need a Layer Cake, Fabric for two Borders,
Binding and the Back.
I used the JOL Fabric Collection
Available to Purchase it here:
Fabric Yardage
https://donnasintheattic.com/collections/fabric
Layer Cake
https://donnasintheattic.com/collections/pre-cuts
Here is the General Idea how the "Twister" works.
First you will sew all of your blocks together along with the first Border ~
(the pattern says to use 36 of the 42 - 10" squares
but I don't like to waste any of them so
I used all 42 that I show on this Post)
Then you will Cut Up the Quilt Top you just Pieced
using the "Twister" ! ! !
The Corners ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside Edge Blocks With Border ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and The Inside Blocks ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cut your Blocks ~ Left to Right/Top to Bottom.
Lay the Blocks back out in the Order you Cut them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Pinwheels Start To Form!
Laid Out and Ready to Sew your the Blocks back together!
(No bulky seams!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ready for the Outside Border!
(the pattern does not call for 2 Borders, but I like to add a
1" Inside Border before adding the larger Outside Border)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I LOVE IT!
Ready to be Quilted!
I think I am going to use Red Minkie Fabric
on the back and
the white Stripe Fabric that I used on the Inside Border
cut on the Bias for the Binding.
If I do, I'll show you how to do a Bias Binding on my next Post.

Isn't this the CUTEST QUILT!!!
Lori Beth and I ran across the pieced top this last week ~
It is one of the first Quilts Tops Lori had pieced!
It had kind of been lost through time.
This Mary Engelbreit Fabric Collection was available through
Moda several years ago.
SO CUTE!!!
I wish I could get more of it.
Lori and I were trying to think how she pieced it but we couldn't remember.
We know it was just something she made up
and it turned out Great!!!
I know she is glad to finally have it finished!

Mexican Cafe!!!
Garry and I made a trip to Seguin Tx to pick up some supplies.
On our way back to Fredericksburg,
we stopped for lunch at
AY CHIWAWA!
Mexican Cafe
in Spring Branch, Tx.
Oh My Goodness!!!
I can definitely recommend this Cafe!
The food was
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
I ordered Chicken Tortilla Soup which is one of my Favorite Entries.
It was SO GOOD and more than I could eat!
The Bowl was HUGE!
Garry ordered his all time Favorite, Beef Enchiladas!
He said his was Delicious as well.
This was the first
Ay Chiwawa!
we have seen . . . Are There More?
