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.

Design Wall Monday

I can't seem to focus on any one project so I worked on several over the weekend. The upper left is a rail fence based on a photo Mary Johnson posted on her blog. I couldn't find instructions so I worked it out myself. The upper right is a pattern from Quiltmaker (J/F '10) called Michigan Crossroads, although I changed around the position of the light and dark squares. The bottom row, left to right, is Old Kentucky Album from Bonnie Hunter's Addicted to Scraps column in Quiltmaker, Pennsylvania Scrapple from Quiltmaker (S/O '01), my last Minnesota Star and Twist and Twirl from Quiltmaker (M/J '09).
