The Braided Twist Duet brings Cheryl Phillips' no-binding, no-quilting technique to placemat and mug rug scale with two smaller acrylic templates: the Junior and the Half Pint. Swap the painterly florals for chili pepper kitchen prints, coffee-shop novelties, watermelon, or autumn leaves and the same two templates from Phillips Fiber Art turn out a year's worth of tabletop pieces that feel custom for each season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the Braided Twist Duet book and acrylic template set.

Scaling the system down to placemat and mug rug sizes does two helpful things at once. Less fabric per piece means seasonal novelty prints and fat quarter favorites go further. And the shorter timeline keeps the project in the sweet spot of a single evening from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Junior and Half Pint templates work alongside the Original Braided Twist, not as replacements for it, so the same technique now covers full table runners, placemats, mug rugs, and small runners. Yardage charts cover every project size in the book, with separate columns for single placemats, sets of four, and runners in multiple lengths. The construction stays consistent across all sizes, so confidence built on one project carries directly to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phillips Fiber Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e PFA-BTD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cheryl Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilting Book and Template Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate (curved-seam construction at small scale and the unusual fusible turn-and-stitch finish require careful attention; rotary cutting and machine piecing experience needed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine Sewing, Fusible Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemplate Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemplates Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Junior and Half Pint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemplate Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\" x 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBooklet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Sizes (Junior):\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\" x 17\" placemats (single or sets of four); 11.25\" x 28\" and 11.25\" x 39\" runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Sizes (Half Pint):\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\" x 9\" mug rug; 6\" x 15\", 6\" x 21\", and 6\" x 27\" runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic templates with instructional book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Phillips Fiber Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48306695733496,"sku":"PFA-BTD","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0196\/8376\/files\/PFA-BTD.jpg?v=1779564404","url":"https:\/\/smartisans.com\/products\/braided-twist-duet-by-cheryl-phillips-from-phillips-fiber-art","provider":"Smartisans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
