Oh thank you so much. I bought your pattern, found all of the fabric needed as well as a charm pack. I’ll start it as soon as I finish the 3 quilts I’m working on now in two weeks. Thanks again.

Hi, I’m making this cute Twitter quilt & having trouble understanding directions of how to join the Bs to the Pinwheel; top of pg 64. THanks, Carolyn
I’m having the same problem. If I join the B’s as shown, with a 1/4” seam on each side of the pinwheel, then join the pinwheel block to the 4 1/2” square, the outward points of the pinwheel are cut off visually. There is no point. My pieces were all cut to the size required in the directions.
Yes you are right. I was confused as well, but the points are cut off. The pinwheels are not pointed. I also change the pattern and put 5 birds instead of 6…they looked a little crowded to me. And I put about a 1 inch white background border around the outside of the outer pinwheels. That way the pinwheels didn’t go into the printed border. I liked the look better. I can send a pick of mine if I can figure out how to send it in this blog. Lol do you know how? Or email me and can send it that way. I love how mine turned out!

Thank you to Rosie, who responded to my message. I can picture in my mind what you did, and it sounds like the way to go!

Yes- the points were cut off intentionally for a softer look. Please email us meagsandme@gmail.com if you have any other questions.
I recently purchased this pattern download from Quilting Daily. The pattern tells you to refer to a book/magazine for making the triangle squares. I do not have this book. I know there are many ways to make them, but I want to use your method to insure that the triangle corners will fit correctly. Can you share the method please? Thanks in advance
Hi, I bought the pattern and am getting ready to do the applique. I have 2 bird patterns. Do I just mix and match. The directions suggested to look in basic lessons for “fusible applique” but I can’t find that on the website. Could you help?
Yes I only made 5 birds because 6 looked too crowded for me. I cut two out of one pattern and three out of the other. Also you can turn the pattern at a different angle and it will look slightly different. I love how my quilt turn out! I changed a couple other things as well. If you send me you email I will send you a pic.
It sounds like you’re using directions from quilt maker’s magazine? If you would email us at meagsandme@gmail.com we can send you our instructions, which include step by step instructions for fusible web appliqué. Thank you!
Twitter is such a darling pattern. Couldn’t it be made with a charm pack or two or even a layer cake?
Yes! The pinwheels are made with 4″ squares. You could easily make them with 5″ squares, and then trim them down to size. You need 35 4″ squares.
