Accent

A
darker background for the center star - 3/8 yard
Cutting for the
Built-In Borders Class
The
quilt is called Twist and Shine. It is a Star Within a Star design with a
Twisted Ribbon border. The cutting
instructions above will yield all the pieces you need for the whole quilt except
for the small center star, which we
will cut in class, or after you get home.
The ribbon has a front and a back. You
can use a dark and medium fabric of the same color for the ribbons, or you can
use two different colors. Just be sure that there is some contrast between the
two colors so the ribbon "twists".
Bring all your cut pieces to class, as well as the left-over fabric. We will use
the left-overs for the center star.
