Too much waste??
#1
I love the twister blocks and the effect they create in a quilt top, but am I wrong when I say that there is quite a bit of waste when cutting the blocks, or am I doing something wrong? Just wondering. Thanks for any advice you could offer.

They do waste a lot. I think a lot of people use those middle squares to make the binding. I don't think it's a big deal if you don't make them all the time. I have the big twister and mainly bought it to use up my old prewashed fat quarters so I don't mind if it wastes some fabric.

With the small twister, I had 2½" squares left over and made bowtie blocks out of them. There is always a way to cut and a method to get the most out of it. I love the twister, looks like I really worked hard when I didn't.
