I made one with the lil twister and I sewed a matching button in the center of each pinwheel.It turned out very cute.I then added beeds and rinestones to the corners.You could do stitch in the ditch but do it before you put bottons on it.I didnt so i sewed in the center of each square where the 4 different seams match.

Girlfriend, you rock! Absolutely stellar! Why is it an issue of not being square? Leave it! Fantastic job, any body can make a square you made a stunning piece of art. I am in love with it. As a teacher of abstract art and traditional quilt skins ( a phrase I coined in 1976) I say quilt it or frame it. Machine quilting might be easier than hand quilting, a personal preference. Buttons would make it cute, matted on dark charcoal grey makes it striking, quilted with heavy variegated thread (w/o white) and a 3/8" binding in multi red tones, well beam me up Scotti!! I suggest you pin it to a wall that you can walk by a few times in day light and low light, look at it w/o any idea at all and let it speak to you. And, and if you want to sell it, I could be interested. It is beautiful and your workmanship is spot on. Your Pinwheel came out the way it wanted too, not square and don't cha love it.

I made 10 (yes, ten!) of these Christmas wreaths with the Itty Bitty Twister....they ended up about 9" square....all were about 1/4" less in one direction but after all that construction I wasn't about to stress over it!

The only quilting I did on the Twister squares was where the berries (red beads) and bow are attached....figured that was enough for this tiny piece. Then just a couple of straight lines of stitching in the outer border.

For yours I would get some buttons for baby clothes and "sprinkle" them on.

Karen--your wreath is really pretty! I can't imagine making 10 of these. I'd have to start now for Christmas 2013!! Yes, 2013 due to the tiny seams and pressing them open.

I'm binding a different quilt this weekend. My thought is in between I'll check my button stash.

Karen......darling mini. I like your addition of the beads for berries and the cheerful bow. May I ask where you got your pattern for this mini? I finished another one yesterday and did the "asterisk" stitch that my Janome 6600 has to quilt it. Used one at ever pinwheel center. I am now sewing the binding on. I will share after I finish.

Great picture of a great quilt. Thanks for including this in the thread

it's wonderful. you can still quilt it. just stipple it and go around all the center points where it is the thickest.
nice job,.
