{Post 1,017} Twister Quilt Finished GFG Update

Here is the finished Twister quilt from my sewing chair:

I didn't get as much done on my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt as I thought I would.  

The first part of the trip I hand sewed the binding on my Twister quilt down.

Here is the GFG progress:

Quilting the diagonal lines really downplays the shape of the hexagons.  If I had the time (hahahahaha) and motivation (double the hahas), I'd like to make this exact quilt again and quilt 1/4" inside each hexagon shape.  I think the difference in the look of the final "product" would be surprising!  Well, if I ever make another one...

{Post 1,016} Mostly Finished Twister Quilt

My Twister quilt is nearly finished.  I took Ruth's recommendation and tried some caramel-colored Connecting Thread quilting thread...I love it!!  


Looks like I'll be in the car at least 9 hours each on the next two days, so I wanted to get the binding sewn to the front of this so I can hand sew it while I'm riding.  


I started quilting question marks joined in groups of 4 on this, then finished the outer border with invisible thread.  Now to pack for our trip and get my sewing supplies together.  I will finish quilting the center after we get home.


This is 29-1/2" square.  The first few curlicues:
