$5 in March 2023: Twirl

It’s simple. It’s sweet. And it’s only $5 in March 2023. After being discontinued for several years, I brought back the “Twirl” design as a PDF pattern. (No plans for printed copies at present, sorry about that.) Be sure to grab this one while it’s on sale!

About Twirl

Just a little about the “Twirl” pinwheel quilt – it’s easy peasy. (Perfect for a confident beginner.) This one can be made with either fat quarters, fat eighths, or Layer Cakes (precut 10″ squares). (See the full materials list here.) It is a superb way to show off any fabric collection.

The Original Model

The Twirl quilt was originally designed for a Momo fabric collection (the name escapes me) but since it wasn’t my fabric, I never made a quilt model for it. Eventually, I did make one in Lottie Da fabric by Heather Bailey. It’s such a stunning, vibrant collection, I think the design really shows it off well. I can’t remember who I gifted this one, but I do remember it was a tough one to give away! Sure am glad I remember to take a few pics.

This was back in the days when I freemotion quilted my own stuff. I used a loose, meandering loop on this one. (I’m always so grateful for amazing long arm quilters who have taken over this part of the process for me.)

    Lovely pattern for those fabrics you just cannot cut up into tiny pieces. I would make Twirl for my granddaughter.
