Twist and Turn

I worked at getting this OBW done enough that I could take it off the design wall without mixing up the pieces.  It is all sewn in rows now.


I needed to get it off  of the design wall, so I could get the next graduation quilt done.  This is a Twist and Turn Bargello quilt.  It has taken me most of the week to get it cut and to this point.  I would advise you to not start one of these unless you have a design wall, bed or floor where you can lay it out undisturbed while you work on it.  I have made several errors already even though I tried to be very careful and keep everything labeled.



It is important that every other row have the seam allowances pressed in opposite directions so that they will nest across the quilt.  I have chosen to follow the directions and work on all the odd rows first.  If I ever make a quilt like this again, I will not wait to press the strip sets all at once.  I had several hours of pressing to do, and it wasn't fun!

Those both look hard to keep straight.

I agree with Cheryl, how do you keep them straight?? You are a marvel, Laura.

Love the colors in your OBW, and admire your bargello work - that’s a quilt I haven’t event thought about trying to make!
