    Default Twister for my nephew and his wife
    i just finished this one to give to my nephew and his wife, expecting their second child in July. It was kind of a challenge to find some way to use the background fabric, which is white with a black maze, and rainbow colored mice looking for cheese. I think my cat Ike was looking for the mice ....!

    I used flannel for the backing, and quilted with a meander/stipple

    I love the way you alternated blocks of the background with the rainbow effect. I too made a Twister for my DGD born last July!
