Rail Fence and Strip Twist Quilt

 I finished the binding on my Rail Fence Quilt. I only wished I made the quilt big enough for my bed.

 I started a new scrappy quilt using my 2.5" strips. I used Bonnie's Strip Twist tutorial over here.
 More strips need to be pressed.
 Here is another project I started. I used my Go Cutter circle die and cut 5" circles. I made one mistake and did not press the steam a seam on before I cut the circles. Double the work for me, because now I have to use a scissors again.
Happy Quilting,
Millie

    what about punching out the circles with the GO! and then lining them up and ironing again? or is that too late? I just used my circle die today too

    Ooooh, those Kaffe prints in the circles are favorites of mine, and yes, your strip twist is gorgeous! I knew it would be. I really like that first quilt, too. Ah, purple!

    Daardie kwilte van jou is fantasies. Ek is versot op die strip twist kwilt. Beslis in my "to-do" lysie.
    Sterkte met die sirkels.

    I've made a couple of the strip twist quilts for QOV...they look nice in red white and blue. On the last one I used a house block in the center...like how it came out!

    I do the same thing, make a quilt and then wish it would fit my bed. Someday, I will make one for our bed and my hubby will be so pleased!
    Your work is beautiful!
