Totally twisted fun!

Wow, it has been over a year since I last posted, that is pretty bad. Oh well, here goes an update anyway. My Mom and I were out shopping and she bought a great new tool called a twist it ruler. Of course I had to use it first, LOL

So it is a great tool for using scraps, charm packs, etc. I had several charms left over from the my table runner and table cloth and I decided to use them to try out the new tool.

First I made a quick and simple top, using 24 charms and 3 inch borders


After that is done you place the template on the quilt and start cutting out little squares. It was kind of scary, but here is what it looks like when you are cutting up your little quilt....







Then you sew all the new little blocks back together and this little cutie is what you get. I love it!
