Note From Mim

Sue Reigh and Dianne Caudell are excited to greet spring with a colorful quilt. We are looking forward to another  fun weekend of Quilting, Friendship and Fellowship. The Quilt pattern for this   retreat is Spring Twist. This is a fun pattern that forms pinwheels with an accent fabric. Look for fabric that will “POP” in the pinwheels.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

This quilt uses strips that are 6.5” by 2.5” and blocks that are 2.5” by 2.5”.  The quilt sizes spell out how many of those strips and blocks are needed.  Use this guide to determine how many you can get from yardage or jelly rolls.  This is a good way to use up your stash!

  • 1 Jelly Roll 2.5” x 42” will yield 240 strips, 6.5” x 2.5”

  • 1 Yard of Fabric 36”x42” will yield 98 strips, 6.5”x 2.5”

  • 1/2 Yard of Fabric 18” wide x 49” will yield 49 strips, 6.5” x 2/5”
