Lil Twister and upcoming gifts

Product review: by Life is a Stitch
The Lil Twister pattern is a quick and easy and it's a fun quilt to make. 
I have the small pattern that uses 5 inch squares or charms.  Using a charm pack would diffently help make this a quicker project to complete.  (There is also a large pattern made to use 10 inch squares or layer cake packs.)
I chose to cut the 5 inch squares from 36 different fabrics, so this took a little bit of time to cut them all out. 



I sewed them together in six rows of six
(a little bigger than suggested in the pattern),  pressed,
and then added a 3 inch border as directed. 



Then all you do is put the pattern/template on the sewn top, aligning the black lines of the pattern/template with the sewn lines of the pieced squares. 


Then just cut around the pattern/template,




turn each piece slightly and sew back together in the same order. 




Continue cutting and sewing until all rows are back together and pressed.
I then added another border (7 inches) and --- WaLaa! -- a finished baby sized flimsy about 40" by 40"!!! 
I did the whole thing from cut to pressed in under 4 hours.  Think how fast you could go if you used charms!
