Creating a New Twister Quilt

Should I ever have a store-bought quilt in my house? In my spare room, I actually have a very old quilt that I bought many years ago. I took a look at it and decided it was time to create a new quilt for this bed. I am now creating 8 small twisters. I will join them together to create a large quilt for the double bed. After that, I will only have quilts that I have made around my house.

To create a twister quilt, you start by sewing together 5 sets of 4 squares (as pictured below) and then frame the squares. The second step is to use the special twister square ruler to cut the rectangle into squares. They are finally sewn together to create the twister rectangle. It is a complicated process but, well worth the effort. I decided to use scrap fabric from my stash – use what you have a make it better (that is my motto).
