The making of a Twister Snowman

I swear I had no idea what I had gotten my self into when I started my snowman journey.

But I cut and I cut and I cut squares in blues and whites and black and reds.

Oh my there was a lot of squares.

And then I sewed and I sewed them into row after row until they resembled

a snowman like the pattern. 

This thing was HUGE.  

It is so big it drapes on the floor in my dining room. 

Where I had to move it to so I could start cutting 

the little twister units. 

Now I am getting really nervous and I have to start cutting it up into little 

pieces and I think I am going to be sick. 

You want me to do what with this quilt I have spent hours and hours on. 

But I take my little bitty twister template and I start to cut holes out of this quilt.  

                               Here is a close up of the tool and how you line it up to cut .

Oh my goodness, I have made a lot of holes.

This is how you line up the tool for row number 2.

Just do one row at a time and keep them in order when you cut

 and sew them together. 

That is really really important. 

Okay. I have one row out of 40 sewn. 

So far so good. 

Okay a few more rows. It actually looks like something.

Holy Cow I am almost half way done. 

Just  a close up.

I can't believe it I finished my 40 rows.

Now to get it off to my friend Mary V to be quilted.

This is Mary when she brought back the quilt  to me at the shop.

She is so cute and did such a great job.

All bound and finished.

I really wanted you to see a closeup of the quilting.

Because I think the quilting is a very important part of the finished product. 

It is not hard to make, but I will say you have to be a person that will stick with it.

It is nice to be done and a big relief.

Hope you can stop by the store  and 

take a peak. I hung it up today.

The pattern is the Twister Frosty by Need'l Love.

Thanks for stopping by. Janeese
