Look at this cute Twizzle Half Square Triangle quilt that I just finished using beautiful fabrics from Missouri Star.
Twizzle
I think Twizzle is a cute name for this rainbow half square triangle quilt which was fun and easy to make.
Blooming Day & Night by Jason Yenter
This is the Blooming Day & Night by Jason Yenter fat quarter bundle and also background yardage of Tula Pink’s True Colors – Fairy Dust White that Missouri Star sent me to make this quilt project.
I ended up being a little short on the Tula Pink Fairy Dust White (I wasn’t sure what I was going to make) so I ordered another 2 yards. I really didn’t need that much but it is such a cute print and I still have more of the Blooming Day & Night collection so I might make a pillow or even some placemats.
I used every single color in the collection other than the very light blue, that one just didn’t work.
Accuquilt Cutting
When I’m going to be using a lot of half square triangles, I like to cut them out with my Accuquilt cutting machine. I am using the GO! Qube Mix & Match 8″ Block and the 4″ finished die from that set.
Making the HSTs
You can also cut them this way. Missouri Star sent me this 10″ rotating cutting mat called Hilda which is very useful for trimming the HST squares.
- Cut a 5-inch square of one of the colors and one of the Fairy Dust White background fabric.
- Place the fabrics right sides together.
- Draw a cutting line diagonally through the center.
- Sew a scant 1/4-inch on both sides of the line.
- Cut apart.
- Use a ruler with a 45 degree line to trim your HSTs.
Sewing the HSTs
It was fast sewing the HSTs (half square triangles) that I cut with my Accuquilt cutter and I didn’t have trim them at all.
Quilt Size 56″ x 72″
56 x 72 is a nice lap size quilt or great for a twin size bed. Here it is on a full size bed.
Braving the Cold
It was a little chilly outside but Builder Bob was game to hold the quilt for me.
My plan is to get this pattern written soon, I hope you like the quilt and thank you Missouri Star Quilt Co. for sending me the fabrics! #msqcshowandtell, #msqcpartner
Quilted on my 15-91 Singer
I mentioned that my Nolting longarm needed some work so I ended up freemotion quilting this quilt on my vintage 15-91 Singer. I used to do all of my quilts this way. Yesterday we took my longarm to Nolting in Hiawatha, IA, got it fixed and….I bought a new longarm! It will be here in two months, I’m excited!

I purchased the Twizzle pattern at 9:45 tonight and it did not come through to my drive. I got it through your website not Etsy or anywhere else why I went back they wanted me to buy it again. Well, I should be able to download it. Please help
Sorry about that Nancy, I have resent the shop receipt email and link and also emailed you the pattern.
I love that new fairy dust fabric. May need to make something for my great grandaughter. She loves fairies and gymnastics. The Twizzle Quilt is awesome. Enjoy your new longarm. Blessings Ruth.
I really love this quilt. Can’t wait until the pattern is available.

I love your quilt! Such happy colors! 💕
Congratulations on your new long arm! I can’t wait to see it!

Your Twizzle quilt is so festive and pretty. Love the selection of fabrics. When you quilted the quilt, where did you start?
Thank you,
Gloria Ellis
Thanks Gloria, when quilting on my domestic sewing machine I always start in the center and work ou
I really love the quilt. Congrats on your new longarm.
Thanks Vera
Beautiful quilt! Love the bright colors.
Thanks Kathy
I love this pattern and the colors you used. I can’t wait to try this pattern. Thank you. Cindy
Thanks Cindy
What a pretty finish! Congrats on buying a new longarm!!
Thanks Vicki, I’m excited!
I really like the Tula Pink Fairy Dust white. The quilt is very pretty. Thanks
Thank you Karen and I love that Tula Pink fabric also.
Often see one of your quilts, love the design and would like to have it sized for a baby/toddler. I could stare at the screen and try to count squares, rows and columns but sincerely would appreciate it if you could give us a hand. Thank you
Thanks Val, I mean to have the pattern ready soon.
beautiful quilt. thanks for the inspiration
Congrats on the new longarm! The finished quilt is really pretty . Your new organized sewing room has inspired me . I’m going to get rid of some big armoire/cabinets and put shelves on the wall and then counter high open shelving cabinet/bookcase . I need to see what I have . Eliminating the 2large cabinets and adding shelves and short bookcase I can now have a pressing area by my cutting table . The hubby is going to put the shelves up for me and had already made a large pegboard area for things . I’m just not happy with the bulky cabinets /old armoire’s so a re-do where I can see my fabric and get to thing’s easily will be much better. Thanks for your inspiration with your work room 😉
Thank you Carol and how exciting to have all of those changes coming to your sewing room. I don’t do well with cupboards with doors, I tend to forget what is in there. I think you will love being able to see everything. I would love to see photos when you are finished.
I really like this colorful quilt. It is such a nice size too, not too big and not too small! How exciting to get a new long-arm!
So vibrant! Love it!
I just love the Twizzle quilt. I can’t wait for it too come out.
That’s such a fun quilt. Love the great fabrics and the background is perfect for it. Looking forward to seeing the new machine.
Thanks Mary!
I love your new Twizzle quilt!
Thanks Bev
Congrats on getting a new long arm!
Lori Quakenbush
Thanks Lori, it will be fun!
Your quilt is absolutely stunning! The colors just make it shine. Congrats! on getting a new long arm. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing!
Such a cute and cheery quilt! I love how the Tula background pulls the rich colors of the focus fabric together. CONGRATULATIONS on the new Nolting!! Super exciting, I’m sure.
Thanks Anne, I think that is the neatest background and yes…I’m excited about the new longarm!
Lovely and a nice size too! I have used that background fabric and it’s always a winner however one uses it.
Congrats on your new machine and hopefully it will put the fun back into doing long arm quilting!
I really like that! That fabric is fabulous, such a great quilt for spring.
Thanks Peggy
Love the quilt. The colors are so cheery and bright after the cold winter. A nice Spring/Easter quilt. Looks difficult, but seeing the HST construction proves it is indeed EZ to make.
Congratulations on your in-progress new quilting machine. Hope this will be a quilting blessing for you.
Thanks so much Beverly!
