Yeh, I was lazy when I got home from EMT class at 10pm last night and then stayed up to watch a movie I had already seen and then couldn't drag my toukus out of my warm bed this morning. oh well..
I did get a little progress done on my itty bitty twister quilt this morning tho. Yeah!!
I added the first border to the mini quilt:

And then I started cutting blocks. By this point I had to get ready for work so hopefully I can can get it sewn this weekend.

| The smaller rotary cutter is definitly helpful when cutting around that tiny template and solid colored fabric works much better than some of the fabrics I chose. |

I agree that the small rotary cutter makes it easier. I think the most important thing about the fabric colors are that they contrast with each other--not just with the background color. Otherwise the pinwheel effect is lost.
With seams pressed open it is a little harder to make the seams match perfectly. After sewing a row I actually resorted to pinning seams--something I usually never do.
Can't wait to see your finished product.
There's still time to link up for the NewFO drawing. It's open until Saturday. This is a cute project.
I use the small cutter for just about everything. I don't quite trust myself with the big one.
I'll be interested to see how the border works out.

I always like the smaller rotary cutter, love making lil twister quilts, can't wait to see this finished!
I like my small rotary cutter for little bits, too. I would be *so* intimidated cutting up pieces like that! You go, girl! :)
