Attic Window Twist Quilt problem featuring Canyon Ridge fabrics by Northcott

**Kiwican** · 02-19-2014, 04:50 PM

I am at the stage where I add the "Twist" following the narrow 2"border but it is not fitting as per the instructions. Admittedly, my twist border is a little out by a couple 1/8th to 1/4" however, it should not reach 4" and 3.3/4" differences - that is top and sides of the quilt.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could possibly obtain or design or whatever, something that will allow me to finish the top and bottom sections that will fit comfortably into corner borders.

I do so hope this makes sense as my frustration is flying higher than the Olympic flame in Sochi and my husbands says thanks in advance, if you could make his life a little easier too!

Can you post a picture of what you have and where it is off? I found a picture of the pattern and it does look like it would be hard to fit together unless your center section is exactly the right size. What it *sounds* like is that you may have taken a bit more than scant 1/4" seams in the center section, and those add up, possibly to the 3-4 inches difference that you're seeing.

Dunster is correct. A photo would help immensely!

Thanks QuiltnNan for the pic. It looks like a nice quilt. Hope we can see a pic of kiwican's so someone can help.

Sounds like the pattern needed "testers" and proofreaders. That is quite a bit "off" if your info is correct. Neat pattern tho. Good luck.

Maybe an e-mail to Northcott is in order to ask if there are any corrections to the pattern

That is what I would do.

Is the twist border too big or too small? First, count your pattern repeats to make sure that you have them all (or if you have any extra). You might be able to add or remove a repeat.
OR
If it's too big, just add another plain border to make it fit. If it's too small, the only way I can see is add another repeat of the twist, to make the twist border longer, then add another border to the quilt to make the revised twist fit.
