Twister or Tessellating Pinwheels

I went to a quilt group today and learned how to make my twister pattern.

I started with this

and it became this.

Isn't that amazing.

Thanks Alva.

You use a template to cut out squares and then

re-sew them together to make

Tessellating Pinwheels or

Twister Block.

There are a few websites out there in blogland

where you can see other

examples.

This block is also called Square Dance

One of the gals in the group today brought in a sample of some quilting she had done.  We learned this technique at the Ricky Tims Quilting Seminar.  You quilt in a circle by placing a pin or tack on your machine and hold the fabric in the centre and quilt in the round.

Isn't that impressive quilting?

Linda does beautiful work.

That is something that I have to try next.

The Answer to a Question

I received a comment on my blog yesterday from "A no-rely Blogger" about the Stonehenge Fabric that I bought when we went to the Ricky Tims Quilting Seminar.  I can't reply because you don't have an email address attached to your profile, so I hope you see this post.

I bought the Stonehenge fabric at Kelly's J's Sewing Center and at Crystal's Log Cabin Quilts.  Crystal doesn't have a website but if you Google the name her shop will come up on visiting Grand Marais Minnesota and there is a phone number for her shop.

I think I bought the charm squares at Kelly's J's but I am not sure (too many shops).  Crystal's Log Cabin Quilts had a Fat Quarter Pack of Stonehenge also.
