Twister Pinwheel



Close-up of blocks.

 

I showed my fiber arts group how to make one of these Lil' Twister style pinwheel quilts at our last meeting, and I made this small one as an example of how it is sewn and cut and put together. I used scraps of batiks and handyed fabrics for this small quilt.

Another Lil' Twister Quilt

To make the Lil' Twister quilt you first start off making squares and a border like this.

Then with the template, you cut out and re-sew into tessellating pinwheel blocks. It's really a cool idea and a great quilt is the result. I made my own template and made it 1-inch larger than the Lil' Twister template. I used mostly Civil War reproduction scraps. My husband is a Civil War buff, and I made it and gave it to him a few days after our anniversary, because that's when I finished it. He really loves it.
