I've been Twisting!
Well, shot! I made the first border too short and the light blue fades too much into the background for my liking! I was too far into it to change plus I ran out of the beige.
Shot!
The cornerstones are a bit of leftover from another project and I bordered the prints with the light blue trying to bring it all together.
Now it needs (lots!) of borders to bring it to QOV size.
pattern: L'il Twister ruler
ummm...lessons learned:
*use fabrics that are high contrast for the twisters
*if border too short...center it to the panel, even if the math is hard
(LOL!)
*starch the precut pieced quilt as all edges are biased and distort
*use a design wall to keep track of twister spin placement
Sharing today with Susan at MidWeek Makers.

I see why you have some of the lessons but I think it's pretty brilliant way to make a border -- using the twister ruler. (On the other hand it does use a lot of fabric.) Nice quilt overall.
What a beauty of a quilt top---the blue does match with the center blue perfectly. I like this version!
