A Twist on Free Quilt Pattern Ribbon Twist by Krista Moser

Krista Moser offers a free quilt pattern called Ribbon Twist on her blog The Quilted Life. I had the pleasure of attending a Krista Moser trunk show at one of my local quilt shops and she is just as cute in person as she is in her videos. She shared how she came to create quilt patterns and how to put together her unique designs. I am taking a free pattern she offers on her blog and am adjusting the size and adding a super size twist the Ribbon Twist pattern. Join me to see how to make this lovely quilt pattern no matter what size you choose to make your strips.
My strips are 4 1/2" wide by width of fabric.

[@aprilscraftroom]

LOL sometimes the struggle is real... but it turned out so cute .. I would do it again thanks for watching April

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Another GREAT video April. Thank you. Only there aren't many funny out takes. I like the out takes, they proves you're human !! You are getting better.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you Louise! April

[@theopinionatedquilter]

I made this quilt with the original 2 1/2” strips. I can’t stand to cut off half the diamonds on the sides so I added side setting triangles. Less waste.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I would love to see it! My friend Dee wanted me to keep the diamonds too. Thank you for watching and commenting. April

[@mybreault]

I also added pieces on the side to avoid cutting the triangles.

[@dianagrant9479]

Hey April, I love to "supersize" (McDonalds forgive me) quilt blocks and quilt patterns. It's your quilt make it your own. Great colors (my favorites). Probably why I love watching your tutorials. Keep 'em coming girl. Love you.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I love it .."Supersize" LOL Thank you so much .. I love the colors too! Thanks for watching April

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! April

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

April you have to be really talented to do what you just did. Wow that quilt is wonderful. I may start it as a wall hanging first just in case, If I mess up completely, I won't be wasting too much fabric that way. I will make sure my kitty's, Smokey, & Snickers are with me in my sewing room. Then all I'll need is a package of treat's for them, & a whole package of Chocolate for me. In the morning I should be finished with my wall hanging. lol.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Jenny ... that is awesome ... Hope your wall hanging comes out perfect! LOVE the kitty names ... Thank you so much for you comment! April

[@sherryfaires7931]

April, I love what you did! The colors are right up my alley! It is just beautiful! I have never done a diagonal pieced quilt, but this might encourage me to do one! I watch Krista Moser, too! She is a delightful quilter!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! You can do this ... it is easier than it looks and I love to watch Krista Moser also ... thank you so much for watching! April

[@delilahcarbajal6734]

Good job 👍🏻 have you seen Krista Moser video on scraps you cut off? You get another quilt top, she is a genius!! lol I just love her videos and patterns. I have both rulers and patterns, I need to finish up quilt blocks..

[@aprilscraftroom]

I love her patterns too ... the rulers are awesome thanks for watching April

[@thebeehivebuzz9884]

Love how you enlarged the pieces to create a bigger quilt. Thanks for sharing your creative process with us. I think you are NOT being selfish by keeping the quilt for yourself. Enjoy! You deserve it!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment! April

[@janhatchett7834]

April, this quilt turned out so pretty! I love the bright colors you chose.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks Jan... I really like how it turned out! April

[@lucyscott736]

I was laughing when you were mentioning “the line up”. What I was seeing in my head was… before a sporting event on tv , they will name a player and then his info. Took me back . Thanks

[@dbeckman6329]

You are great at making a complicated pattern look easy!

[@aprilscraftroom]

lol! April

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! April

[@Deeloveshergoldies]

I love Kristas patterns. I’m making another one at the moment. Her instructions have really helped me get flatter seams. . I love you’ve made this bigger. I need another quick quilt ( I made one of yours last time you up sized a quilt). So I think I better get scrounging through my stash.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wonderful! I love this! Thanks for sharing Dee! April

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Watching you put this quilt top together on the design wall made me dizzy; or, it could be the Covid-19 shot I took yesterday. I love that cat. That is a beautiful quilt top.

[@aprilscraftroom]

OH I hope it wasn't the shot or the quilt ..LOL THank you for your kind words April

[@maryswarts2282]

Hmmmm....love this pattern.....may require wine in order to get it done 🤣

[@aprilscraftroom]

LOL Whatever it takes! LOL April

[@jeanbouchard3200]

Beautiful quilt top! Love Krista’s patterns! I always look forward to your videos April!

[@christinehl4310]

Beautiful quilt with beautiful fabrics. Glad you made it your own. I won’t be attempting that one as I would be one to turn all those blocks backwards and every which way 😂 I would be writing on the back of each one with a frixion pen as to which one is A and which one is B. Love your tutorial videos. Missed Oliver in this video though.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for watching Christine! April

[@carolweyandt2925]

Nice quilt and beautiful colors.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! April

[@sharonlyman3029]

Love the quilt and an interesting solution to width problem. I love your larger, fewer blocks. Love the bright, cheerful fabrics you chose. Tks so much. I don't think I could have trimmed the pretty fabric. Someone else (Opinionated Quilter?), floated the ribbons with background triangles. No trim on color strips. That would be me. lol Tks again.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much for your comment I think you can do anything ... just give it a try! April

[@kyliespiller2163]

I love it, it's really pretty. Your such an inspiration just love your videos 🙂

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! April

[@lyndapatrick8303]

This turned out so pretty! A & B are a bit confusing, you'd think they wouldn't be. I like that you upsized the strips otherwise you'd end up with a wall hanging not a useful size

[@aprilscraftroom]

right! I totally agree! Thanks for watching April

[@Sarahlizardbreath]

This is really pretty, love the color choices. my brain and diagonals don’t go well together so I’d be cuttin off those sides too lol

[@aprilscraftroom]

You can do it! It looks harder than it is ... Thanks for watching April

[@FleurdeLinda.Stitches]

That turned out real pretty. I won’t be making any quilt on the diagonal anytime soon. I did one recently and UGH! The squaring up didn’t go as it should have. I had to get my husband to use his laser squaring up tool to get it to some semblance of square! 😜

[@aprilscraftroom]

Community quilt ... LOVE IT ... I think that is pretty kool that he had the laser squaring tool ... maybe I should look into that ... LOL Thanks for sharing April

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

I would like try this is, but add an extra all white piece at the end of the rows. I hope that would give a white edge along the sides, so that I could cut the straight sides without cutting any of the colored ribbon pieces. This would also make it a bit wider.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@pamelafloyd5765]

I like it very much. Sure teaches your brain to work another way doesn't it.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you Pamela!!! April

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

Oh gosh! I’d be so confused, no telling which way my zigzags would end up! I like that you enlarged it, I hate sewing tiny pieces.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I hate tiny pieces also .. lol Thanks for watching April

[@80657]

That's beautiful April....I was wondering what the quilt would look like if you just cut some corner and side pieces and make the pattern look like it was kinda floating like???

[@aprilscraftroom]

OH ... that is a great idea... thank you for sharing April

[@tracycrosley4828]

Try putting the strip sets wrong side together, then cut. You will get mirror pieces without worrying if you have the ruler correctly situated.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for this Tracy! I appreciate you sharing! April

me too! April

[@allisonmccullough6082]

April, I love this pattern!! How long did the quilt end up being with using the 4 1/2" strips instead of the 2 1/2"? I may have to make one of these for ME also 😍😍

[@aprilscraftroom]

The size is about 59” x 72”. Thank you for watching. And I think you will be happy with this pattern. April

[@rozastern7655]

It is really pretty. Why didn't you fill in the sides rather than cut off, and add to the sides.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Mainly because I was lazy. My attention span is quite short and by the time I put those diagonal pieces together and diagonal rows my brain was tired. LOL. And I couldn’t figure out how to get them filled in without a Y seam. I would love some ideas on how to fill in those half diamond areas. Another idea I had was to leave the pointed edges and just bind it that way. But again I got lazy. ;-) April

[@seams2travelterisingletonc264]

I’m thinking about a layer cake for this…?

[@aprilscraftroom]

Very interesting. It will definitely be scrappy. Please send me a picture of it. I bet it will look great! April

I think what’s throwing you off is she alternated the solids

True. I see that but for some reason it throws off my eye. I love April!
