Sometimes my designs aren’t inspired by anything. There isn’t any particular fabric I have in mind or image I am trying to create. Sometimes all I do is play with shapes and see what happens. Often these are the best designs because I’m free to do whatever I want. It does not matter what size pieces I use or which way I arrange them. The design can become whatever it is meant to be.

This is what I did for A Little Bit Twisted. I took a simple component and kept twisting it around to see what happened. There wasn’t anything in particular I had in mind, and as a result, I ended up with two different blocks I really liked. Instead of making separate quilts, I decided to put the two blocks together. When I did, this interesting, not quite basket weave was created. It was perfect. The design was exactly what I was looking for, without me looking for anything at all.
