Diagonal Table Runner

I have now made 3 diagonal quilts.  My plan is to make a pattern and list it on craftsy.  Once it is done I will also share it here I think.  I have really enjoyed these diagonal quilts.  This little table topper was made out of the left overs from the first one.

I quilted this echo quilting and the back was just left over pieces.  I was pleased that it looked so well after washing it.  I love the crinkly look of quilts.  (Mostly because it hides all the flaws haha)

The picture below I think is one of my favorite of this quilt.  After seeing it hung up I had though about maybe it could be used as a wall hanger rather then a table runner.

Minion Pillow in Yellow and Blue

Tanya has made another of her wonderful pillows for today's post.  This is one of my favorite so far.  I am a fan of the minions and this is her 3rd.

These pillows she has created with a mixture of cotton and minkey with the Minion put on using embroidery by Tanya.  They are such cute and fun.  These pillows are all done with a rag quilt style.

We have never done a zipper so these pillows were made with a pillow that can be washed.  It is so fun to see the smiles these pillows cause on the little kids faces.

Twister Table Runner

Today I want to show off our newest table runner.  It is funny how different they look from one picture too the next.  I have been messing more in photoshop trying to make colors look correct as some of them blend out more then others.

 

This twister quilt is made out of fabrics from the Carolyn Friedlander called Architextures  I love this fabric line.  I have made a few items out of it and absolutely love them.  I have been looking at her new line Botanics and will buy it when I can convince Tanya into it. 

I do have a question for you today.  Have you ever made a twister quilt and if so which type of twister ruler do you use.  The ruler I have is just the shape of the blade and I like it a lot but I know others use the twister ruler and like it.  Which is your preferred method of Twisting.
