Materials

Designers: Betsy Shannon and Melissa Lewis
From the Winter 2007 issue of Quilts and More magazine.

The secret behind this intriguing "Twist & Turn" pillow is the fabric selection. Pillow is made from the fabric from the Nigella collection by Amy Butler for Westminster Fibers.  To order a kit of fabrics for the pillow top and backing send $24 ppd. to Grinnell FiberWorks, LLC, 831 Main St., Grinnell, IA 50112; 641/236-7026; www.grinnellfiberworks.com.

Materials
1/2 yard green-and-brown hexagon print (pillow top)
1/4 yard pink print (ruffle)
1/2 yard backing (pillow back)
18" square muslin (pillow top backing)
2 -- 18" squares batting
Polyester fiberfill

Finished pillow: 11" diameter (at widest point including ruffle)

Quantities are for 54/56"-wide, 100% cotton fabrics. Measurements include 1/2" seam allowances. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.
