yankiequilter Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Although I've used the Circle Lord Spiro Thingy several times I wanted to use all aspects of it on a quilt. I made this scrap quilt with both 12" and 6" blocks and have used all of the Spiro Thingy templates on it, resulting in many different designs in a wide range of sizes. I marked the templates according to the instructions and used the template/size chart to choose the designs as I stitched the blocks through the quilt. If you've got the Spiro Thingy and haven't used it, well...get it out! It was fun and it really is easy to use! I used the new Circle Lord mini clam shells giant template to stitch the border. Love that new template! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 It is terrific!!! I have the Spiro-Thingy, but haven't tried it yet. I guess I need to put together a pretty quilt like yours and give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnBarb Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 What a great sampler to be able to show customers and others what a design looks like. I'd hang that in my studio to have it handy to get ideas/inspiration! Guess I'm going to have to pull out my CL and get busy (maybe around 2 a.m. lol). Thanks for sharing!
