This was my "first" attempt at piecing together more than just 6" squares. I got the pattern from Super Simple Quilts #1. The pattern is Twist and Turn. Now I just need to decide what to do with it... it is "crib size", but I don't know if I should add some sashing and make it like a table topper or what.
Any ideas?
Enjoy

It definately needs at least a border-I would add a narrow border first (say, 1/1/2 ") in maybe the darkest color on that green print(can't tell if it is black or dark green), then a wider border (maybe 4") in a red print. Looks nice! I think since it is with Xmas fabs, maybe make it either a small table topper or wall quilt.
Be sure to use your rotary cutter and ruler to trim around the edges to make them even before sewing any border.
