Give a Little Twist to a Quilt Around the World

Try Something New with This Easy and Fun Project!

This pretty quilt starts off as a traditional Quilt Around the World. Creative cutting and resewing gives it a delightful twist. While it looks complex, it’s a very simple quilt to make.

The cheerful colors and small size make it perfect for a baby or lap quilt. Once you understand how it’s made you can easily make the quilt larger by adding more blocks to the starting Quilt Around the World version.

A special template, the Lil Twister Tool, makes cutting the twisted blocks a breeze. If you don’t already have one, you can get it here.

Designer Connie Kresin Campbell, of Freemotion by the River, provides an excellent tutorial and a pattern. You’ll need both to complete the quilt.

The finished quilt is 40″ x 45″.
