Design Wall Monday

This is a pattern called Twist and Twirl, from Quiltmaker M/J 2009. I have been meaning to make this for a long time. I made a test block and posted about it here, almost a year ago. This week I was looking for a quick project to keep me busy. My daughter moved out two weeks ago and while I'm happy for her, I'm feeling a little lonely. This helped me keep my mind off it.

Finally something new: the hot cross buns blocks sewn into a top. It turned out darker than I'd like due to the navy sashing. The blue print borders brightened it up a bit. Of course the photo is brighter than real life. I'll quilt this and put it aside for a baby gift. The blocks are only 5 inches across, the whole quilt is 37" x 49".
