I went to quilt camp recently and all of us ended up making one of these quilts. It looks complex, but it's super simple.
This is what it looked like when I started:
A giant pile of scraps. These were cut into 5 inch squares and sewn together, then a border was added. Then it was time to cut them up again.
You use a template available from
Lil' Twister template by CS designs (www.country-schoolhouse.com). You align the lines on the template with the seams on your quilt top and cut around the template. You then sew the pieces back together in the same order you cut them. You can find a complete tutorial for a version of this quilt that has sashing on Moda Bake Shop.
Like I said, several of us made this quilt. Here are a couple other examples of the finished product:
 |
| Mary Beth made this one out of batiks. It has a dramatic flair. |
 |
| Louise and Terry both worked on this one... what a great baby quilt! |
I am a huge fan of scrap quilts. My basic philosophy is why use some of the fabrics when you can use all of the fabrics?
