Twists and Turns


This quilt was made to use up some fabric (Layer Cake and Fat Quarters), to have a project to take to a sewing group I recently joined, and to have a quilt to donate to Life Moves through the Quilt Guild. The pattern came from the book Skip the Borders by Julie Herman. She calls the pattern “Four-Patch Shift.”
  • 63 1/2" x 82" Twin bed size
  • Quilting: Quilted in a meandering loose stipple with design in the 4-patch. Used light gray 100% polyester thread (Omni from Superior Threads-named "Silver"). Free form quilting. 7 bobbins. Quilting by Patty.
  • Backing: Blue print fabric from a Connecting Threads sale. Fabric was bought some time ago and never looked pretty enough for a back. However, it washed and dried beautifully and did not require ironing. I’m sorry I did not use the back sooner.
  • Batting: 80% cotton/20% polyester Winline “Comfort Blend”
  • Binding: Light gray solid cotton from my inventory.
  • Pattern: "Four-Patch Shift" by Julie Herman from her book Skip the Borders.

  • Pinned into frame May 8, 2019. Quilting on long arm quilter May 10, 2019. (Patty).
