did you make your own pattern? I have the little twister template, but never used it. Was it easy to use?
your wreath will make a fantastic wall hanging.

template has 'thingies' on the bottom so it doesn't slip when cutting around 4 sides of square. I was inspired by:

I just finished mine last night. I stitched in the ditch on the inside of the wreath, the outstide of the wreath and only on the outside of the thin border. I didn't feel it needed anymore quilting as it was a small wall hanging and I didn't want to distract from the colors and pattern. I used metallic gold thread and stitched just a fraction away from the seams around the wreath. I used matching thread and stitched in the ditch on the outside thin border. May post pictures later.

I would stipple the white areas and allow the wreath to pop

Suggestions welcome - thanks

I don't have any suggestions for the quilting, but I sure do like the quilt. You did a great job!

I have the twisted sister template and it looks similar. Did a quilt in polka dots in 4 colors one of my favorites.

That is very pretty! I have a question. Do Twisters have t be made with triangles or could they be made with other shapes?--Example: Ovals, hearts, arrows, etc.
