Given Janice and I brought a bundle of fabric each back in 2013 to make out twister quilts......life happened and we never got to make them together........so we had both located our fabric bundles again complete with notes - who knew I could be so organised.........
Anyway we decided to make them at Scrub Stitchin' so we mentioned to the girls what we were doing and if anyone wanted to join us please do............
Jo flew out the gate and the above and below results..........Love the brights...........
Janice threw Jo a challenge to make a mini twister with the left overs............Now this does not use the 5in template...........I think it's more like 3.5 or 4in..............
its one Janice made up..........
Jo being Jo jumped right in and made this from her left overs.............its about 12in square..........I love it........she turned it into a placemat/cutlery holder..........
Jenny made this blue and green version..........
My mum used to say "blue and green should never be seen" I always wore it together as I love the combination.........
It looked great twisted........
Cut out ready to resew...........
It takes a village to raise a child and thanks to the team effort Izzy got her runner done and even machine sewed the binding down........Thanks everyone for your help......you know who you are........
Mary made this pretty Tilda version.......
I missed taking photos of her runner.........and I had to get this photo from Mary
Second border on............the quilt does drop in size as you use 10 in blocks and they reduce to 8in when cut............but i added size back to mine with the borders...........
Loving the colours so far.......
And Brenda..........she made this runner............
What fun the twisters are.......I will be making more............
A couple other girls Julie and Peta got the tops pieced but didn't have the first border fabric so got stalled.......I'm sure we will see them finished next year.......
This ends the Scrub Stitchin' retreat posts and back to regular posts..........
I have a few finished quilts to share and some other bits and pieces..........
Onto binding my 3rd quilt this month........
I know i'm just as shocked.........
Keep the love of blogging alive......
Catch you later...........

I haven't made a twister quilt in ages, and the ones I did make were always smaller. I really like those big ones! :0)
So much fun to see your twisters! Each one looks so different and unique. I have only ever made a mini twister. (No surprise there.)
Kudos to your niece and the village that helped her!
I love blue and green together--I think it is a soothing combination.
Well, aren't they all great! Hard to pick just one, isn't it. Well done to your niece too, she has done a fabulous job with hers.
They were fun to make, weren’t they. I love all the different variations.
The twister quilts all look amazing, Issy did so well with her table runner, as did Brenda and Mary.
all very pretty...i do love the blue/green too...i made a twister christmas stocking once with the smaller size...they do make nice projects...and your niece jumped right in...how great is that!
Great ladies…So beautiful Twisters .
It's lovely to see so many variations of the same design.
Wow - they all look so good.
These look like a lot of fun! Christine xx
