Twister Pinweel....MANIA?

Oh, yeahhhh!!!!!

Here below there are some my last works that I made with this interesting pattern:

a colored cushion for my friend Marina...

.....and with the scraps here is a cute pouch...

 ...then I made this little top: I will make a  lovely cushion for my daughter Anna...

.....and this is the center block of my next project, a Medallion Quilt. This is a project that our quilters'group have decided to make together, everyone with her own fabrics choice. I use Tilda fabric, a selection of pink,red and aqua by Tone Finnager and white solid cotton.

The result is just as I had imagined it!

New experiment.....new cushion

To take a break from "Celtic Solstice", I tried to make a new work : Twister Pinweel !

This is a block that I like so much because the final result is like a surprise.
I began to make the top with 4 and 1/4"  squares (I had several ones already cut in this measure) , 7 units X 7 rows,  and a 3" border.

Then, since I haven't the Pinweel block ruler, I made  a plastic template  ( 3"X 3") by myself.

I began to cut neatly the blocks and put them apart in the same position.

Little by little I reassambled the new squares to form the pinweels.

 I sewed the blocks and then the rows.......

A beautiful new"top"!

I added a piece of cotton batting and  hanquilting with cotton perle.....

I decided to make a cushion with this cute mini quilt.....so I made an envelope closure for the back......and voilà ...

.....a beautiful new cushion for my sofa......and I learned a new technique!!!

TODAY IS.....

.....a special day for us!

It's the GRADUATION CEREMONY DAY of my daughter Anna at  Mukwonago  High School -Wisconsin.

It is an important moment for her and for all our family

Here in Italy we haven't this tradition about the Graduation ......so I have made a little present for her.

She will be at home, in Italy, next  26 june and we are very excited about it!
