My parents have been visiting for two weeks and my mom cracked up when she got to see for herself how Jackson thinks every quilt I lay out is for him! She snapped this picture as I was cutting the batting off my finished flannel twister quilt
The Front
Here it is all finished. Cousin Amber had to get in the picture and we really love the scrappy binding! This quilt is soooo soft and warm!!
The Back
I used all my left over flannel and created strips for the back. I really like how it came out.
This quilt will see many more adventures than me, as my dad will use it in their motorhome during their summer travels.
The Quilting
I quilted it using a dog pantograph:
and loved that it had bones
and a doghouse too!
Here's where it will "live" on my parents' motorhome bed on the Underground Railroad Quilt I had made them for their 50th Anniversary earlier:
And here's where it will be used by my dad in their motorhome while he spends afternoons watching golf and baseball all cozy and warm.
The perfect quilty hug don't ya think!
With Smiles!
Val:)
It's just perfect - love the panto you used. And great final photo!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out brilliantly. It looks so comfortable, and matches the other quilt so well. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love this twister quilt. It looks so cozy. Love the quilting too. I liked that you used a color of thread so you could see the quilting. Looks great on the bed and on your Dad!
ReplyDeleteHi Val!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! That came together fast!
Love to see quilts being used!
Take care,
Joanne
Love the quilting on the flannel quilt. Adorable. My black lab Stan thinks all quilts are for him and will help when I'm pinning one up by lying right in the middle if it xx
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting design you have used.
ReplyDeleteWhat size squares did you cut the blocks before you joined and recut them to do the twist. They look quite big.
I started with a 10 inch layer cake.
DeleteGreat idea to use the twister pattern with flannel. The quilt is lovely, a perfect cuddle quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful, Val. The quilting is 'over the top' clever - paws, pups and bones !

Love the twister quilts and this one is gorgeous with the flannels... you chose a great design to quilt it too! Perfectly done!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Val! Jackson didn't look like he wanted to give that quilt up though. Looks like he was claiming it for himself, lol!! Your dad looks happy with the quilt...although it's too hot now for flannel!!
ReplyDeleteGood thing is they are headed for the coast....so he'll be able to use it a bit.
DeleteThis quilt looks so cozy, Val, and I'm sure your dad will think of it as a warm hug from you each time he uses it! And I have to say that I smiled as soon as I saw the thumbnail photo of your dog laying on it. You know, I have fussed at my dog for walking across/trying to lay on my quilts while basting them (he's a 70 lb. Boxer), and so now he lays right on the edge. I don't know what it is about quilts on the floor, but apparently they are irresistibly inviting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up to Needle and Thread Thursday!

Aw, what a great gift for your dad, Val! Beautiful! Love that your dog thinks that each quilt is his -- very much like my kids. LOL!
ReplyDeleteawesome quilt, and I love the little furry photo bombers, they are too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the quilting on this is adorable! Great choice! And the flannels are probably soooo soft and cuddly!
ReplyDeleteThis flannel twister quilt is so beautiful and looks so confortable! Great gift for your father!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting!! The furry photo bombers are adorable :)

Your quilt is so nice. Your quilting just the thing. Sure enjoy reading your posts and the Tuesday Archives, too.
ReplyDeleteI went back and looked at my first post and see that I didn't know how to post photos, so there are none. It was short (maybe a good thing). I also went to a few of the first posts and found one where the photo was not showing, so I corrected that with a bit of Photoshop Elements' help.
I adore scrappy bindings too Val! This quilt looks great I love that pantograph! And your dad looks happy with his quilt😸
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome quilty hug, Val. Your dog reminds me of my boys. Around here we call it the stomp of approval.
ReplyDeleteIn flannel it's a double quilty hug! Love the Twister and the UGRR quilt. Don't come a knockin' when the RV quilts are rockin'!!
ReplyDeletePerfect quilt hug!
ReplyDeleteThe flannels are great together and will make the hug softer each time.
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! I love the panto.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt Val and the quilting is so cute! Love the photo of you and your dad.....priceless!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Love the quilting.
ReplyDeleteFun quilt! The quilting is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat IS the perfect quilty hug Val! How perfect it looks on the end of your parents' bed - sets of. That other beautiful quilt very nicely!
ReplyDeleteYour twister quilt is wonderful!!! (And your doggy is super cute!)
ReplyDeleteI've never made a twister quilt. Yours is very nice and the back is a great idea.
