Lovely...looks like a fun project...love the idea of a yellow border (I would use the other fabric too and then maybe bind in yellow). Thanks for sharing your pretty creation.

I really like your quilt top and I think the borders are just going to make this quilt! Thanks for sharing!

So pretty. I recently bought the twister ruler but haven't tried it yet. I think it will have to be moved up on my project list now and try one after Christmas.

You don't really need any pattern, just make your own template, check out the info on the tutorials around for this, & go for it!

I need a pattern & the tool.

I had no idea there was a book....someone on the board said it originally was the McCall mag in 1998...I've never seen a copy of the original but it sure caught on...

So you made your own template? Tell me more.

Oh, and I like the contrast of the yellow border.

Heres a picture....I just kinda guessed at the measurements, I think it is a very forgiving pattern.

Thanks for the picture of the template. I was trying to figure out the angles. I hate spending all that money for something that seems so simple. Hmmmmm....something to play with in the kitchen this afternoon. (more Kitchen Stitchin'?)

What size squares did you start out with...if I understand this correctly, one sews a bunch of squares together basically making a quilt top, then you recut with the template......
