Twisted Heart Finish

For the past few months I have been thinking about trying the new Lil' Twister tool..  A quilt shop nearby offered to show me how to use it, but I had a boatload of projects going on at the time so I declined.  Then I couldn't find the tool when I went into other shops.  I wanted the one for the 5 inch charms.  There are three sizes.  A shop would have the big one, or the little one, just not the one in the middle that I wanted. I felt like Goldilocks. Finally, I asked at my closest LQS and she said she would order the one I wanted.  Last week I got it. Phew!  Now I was ready. I even found a timely pattern on the Internet. It is called Hearts Delight.  I don't have a link, sorry.

This is my finish for the week.  It was fun to do. My only large work surface is my kitchen peninsula. I had to do the cutting there, put the squares onto a smaller mat and then move one row at a time to the sewing room.  It was woirth it and fortunately our house isn't all that big.  Here's the back:

I quilted only the white area with a mettallic thread in a stipple free motion motif.

The charms are from Moda's Love is in the Air line from a couple of years ago.


The tool comes with a pattern.  Now my stash of 5 inch charms has been used somewhat.  This is an easy project that looks complicated.The Lil' Twister is from CS Designs .
