I had seen the Twister and Lil' Twister patterned quilts and knew this was my plan for these fabrics. For the free motion quilting, I made swirls that look like Thing 1 and Thing 2's hair and I made duck feet flowers. I'm grateful for a DVD by Myrna Ficken, which expanded my quilting skills and provided ideas for this quilt.
There's about a 4 inch square left over when using the larger Twister. So I made 4 patches and added the black pieces left over from the first border, used the Twister ruler again and came up with this one. I've pieced a back with the final scraps of my Seuss fabrics and this one is waiting it's turn to be quilted.
There's a string quilt on the frame today. It will bring cheer and comfort to my Aunt Helen, who's fighting breast cancer right now. I hope I can share it with you soon.
The birds are happy today. Lots of chirps and whistles. They must be as thrilled as I am to see the dogwoods blossom. I absolutely love Spring!
that is the best use of Dr. Suess fabric that I have seen.

Oh-HOW-CUTE!!! Love the fabrics of Dr. Suess! What a fun twister quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI also saw on the weekend Show-n-tell thread your twister heart quilt and hope that you will blog about it and show it here.... also hope you have a "before" photo to show the placement of fabrics as I'm not so smart to figure that out. lol
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
