Quilting dilemma please help

by Kathy
(Elmore, Al.)

I am making a twin size quilt. The delimma is that I have only made a pretty good size lap quilt and it was a stitch and flip pattern.

I like the pattern a lot, but I don't know how much to piece together to make a twin size and still keep the center piece in the center.

I would love to do a different pattern but I want this done pretty quick. It's for my boyfriends daughter and I want to give it to her for her birthday and that's next week. So, I'm thinking that this would be the best idea for me since I have already made something in this pattern and I'm kind of familiar with the instructions.

I'm not an expert sewer, but I can do fairly well. I don't know how to do hand quilting or complicated things, but I can figure things out by myself a lot of the time.

I'm thinking that I pretty much do exactly like the directions say but just keep adding to it.

I don't have any pictures and the only one I would have anyway is the picture of the lap quilt I made and I don't think that would help.

Am I on the right track or way off base? If you know how to help me would you PLEASE HELP? I'm running out of time. Thanks for your help!!!!
