Garden Twist Pattern: A Trellised Floral Quilt for Heartfelt Gifts

Customers describe the Garden Twist Pattern as a long-time favorite among quilters, and reviewers say it is a pattern they keep coming back to. Designed by Sharon Evans Yenter, it is a pieced quilt with a trellised flower garden look that many buyers find both fresh and familiar.

Reviewers say the instructions are clear and easy to follow, with helpful pictures that give newer sewists the confidence to begin.

The Movement of the Fabric

Customers say the magic of Garden Twist shows up in the fabric choice. Reviewers who used large floral prints with plenty of white space describe a floating, flowing effect, with the florals seeming to drift across the quilt. One reviewer advises placing the white areas toward the outside edges so the pattern appears to float the flowers.

Made for Family and Friends

Many buyers describe Garden Twist as a pattern for gifts with meaning. Reviewers mention making quilts for grandchildren, a friend facing a big life change, and a granddaughter's wedding. One reviewer says the quilt reminds them of their grandmother's quilts and flower garden, and another calls it a variation on a family tradition.

Room to Make It Your Own

Reviewers say the layout and color possibilities invite personal touches. Some have had plenty of fabric ideas before choosing a single print, and others plan their own variations on the base design. One reviewer suggests using a planning board to settle square placement before sewing, which many find helpful.

Quilt name...Our friendship

This quilt was made for my good friend who is giving up her independence and moving in with her daughter, as she is losing her sight. She picked the K Fassett fabrics. I made it a lap size quilt. She loves it.

So far I love it. I’m in the process of quilting it now. When it is finished, I’ll send a picture. I’m making a king size so I will be adding to the size. It is for my granddaughters wedding.

Lovely with large floral prints

I made two quilts from this pattern a long time ago in a class at In the Beginning store. They are lovely. The key I think is getting a print with large flowers with lots of white space so that you can position the floral squares with the white toward the outside edges of the quilt.

I’ve made this quilt in the past for a grand baby and loved the pattern. One caveat: follow instructions for the squares EXACTLY, or they won’t line up correctly. Other than that, loved the quilt and ordering from this company was easy and delivery was prompt.
