Well, I'm not a newbie to sewing, but it's been ages since I've made a quilt. Thanks to Jenny's great tutorials, I think I may have found a new obsession for life...
I had purchased all these random fabrics that just reminded me of my daughter, and when I saw the tutorial on the Twister Tool, I knew that's what I had to do with them. So, here's my "twisted" take.

I call it "Geometry is Boring," since well, it's a quilt, so there's the whole shape/math thing...and it's for a my teenage daughter, so the quilting's supposed to look like something a teenage girl would doodle in her notebook when she's bored during class. I used 100% cotton batting and backed it in black flannel for extra warmth and coziness. This was a ton of fun! Thanks, Jenny & MSQC!
Her little brother's jealous that she got a quilt first, so I'm already on to his using the Simple Marks Summer jelly roll from Moda. It's going to be a race quilt, with a few extra things thrown in just for fun!
Thanks for the inspiration! Happy sewing!
