In your case , 1-1/3 yards = 48", so I would take some coordinating fabrics (at least 6-8), cut them in various widths and cut your center fabric and insert the coordinating fabrics to make the center fabric longer, but at least 71" long. Add a 2-1/2" wide border around the center fabric. Then, using the same coordinating fabrics, cut various width strips and sew them together. Cut the strip sets to the width that you would like piano keys (I usually do 6"-8", sew the strip sets together, then measure and cut the borders. Add a solid border, then quilt and bind.

Using these measurements, you will have a quilt approximately 60" x 90" and according to my "cheat sheet", a twin is usually about 68" x 88".

Have you checked the eQuilter website (www.eQuilter.com)? Luanne has been coming up with a lot of free patterns for large print/panels lately.

This is one of my favorites... using big 18" squares of your focus fabric.

I took a panel and cut it horizontally and vertically and inserted black strips. This made it appear to be looking through a window at a scene. Perhaps something like this would work for you.

I'm working on a donation quilt right now using this very simple pattern that puts the focus on a feature fabric. The pattern is free from MaryQuilts.com. It doesn't get much easier than this...but it's not twin-size. You'd need to add borders.
