Isn't that just Hunky Dory??

A charm pack of Hunky Dory, some Hunky Dory yardage, some Moda Bella solid (aqua?) and a Lil' Twister ruler equals=

..an Easter gift for someone.
I didn't choose enough contrast in the charm squares.  I added top-stitching to help define each whirly gig.  More dreary cloudy weather and drab photos.

+++++
Happy Easter

I love the colors. Maybe the fabrics didnt' contrast enough for the standard Twister craze, but it sure did make a wonderful water-colory effect!

When I did my Little Twister table runner, the charms I didn't use ended up being the ones I absolutely should have included. I love yours and the colors look great!

Really pretty! I have a Twister ruler and book - my mum gave it to me for my birthday in January - and I still haven't tried it. Is it easy? Maybe it's time to break it out and do something small like your beautiful table runner.

Mama Spark said...
