July Program - Twister Quilts

For our July program at the AFQ guild, Holly Dillaway demonstrated how to make a "twister" quilt.  She showed us several "twister" templates from her own personal stash and among them were the June Taylor's TWIST 'N STITCH square, Primitive Gatherings TWISTER TEMPLATE, and the LIL' TWISTER.

Holly's "cheesecloth" as she describes it.  This is what is left of the pumpkin top after using the twister template to cut new blocks.  Holly kept this together with tiny bits of tape on the back just to share with us!

Holly shows us how to use the template.

Here Holly is showing us a different template that is available for creating twister quilts and how to use it.

Holly was even kind enough to share with everyone a leaflet she created, outlining measurments to create our own blocks in different sizes and several layout ideas including a pumpkin design, a Christmas tree and a traditional diamond shape design. 

Thank you for sharing this with us Holly!
