Yeah, so, I’ve been on a roll.
But I’m done now. I promise. (Until I finish my Rikke hat. Heh.)
This little lovely came together so quickly with the help of a Twister ruler, and Aimee of Salt Marsh Designs, who taught the Seacoast Modern Quilt guild how to use a Twister or a Mini Twister at our February 2 meeting.
I spent longer digging in my fabric pile than I did piecing this.
It’s quite a small quilt, 30”x38” or something. (So I didn’t have to piece that Kaffe spot backing, one yard of which was just waiting in my stash for this exact quilt.)
It’s my second FMQ quilt. It went poorly, in general. Some spots were great:
and some totally gnarly.
But I’m still pleased with this little project. I love the colors. This deep into winter, I start craving bright colors that I can almost taste.
It is a baby-less baby quilt. I don’t have any friends who are pregnant right now, which is a little weird. I’ll put it in my pile and wait for someone to need it, or else I’ll donate it after it’s hung around for a few months. This project was so quick and fun, that there may be more Twister quilts in my future!
Very cute. I like the colors you chose.
I found a handy guide for FMQ today that might help…Guide to freemotion and feather quilting by Dianne Gaudynski http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/february-2012-fmq-challenge-tutorial.htmlhttp://pinterest.com/pin/540080180283563643/
Your little gnarly looks a lot better than mine. I’ve just started doing FMQ and my practice sessions were great and it was still looking good until about 20 minutes in and then I could do nothing right. I finally had to rip stitches out (for the third time) and put it aside. I love your little Twister quilt-very spring like.
