    I ordered a pattern with tool for the Mini Twister and I also ordered the kit with tool for the Itty Bitty Twister. The Mini is 3 1/2" and the Itty Bitty tool is 2 1/2" Can't wait to make the tiny one. I've done two with the Mini. I used a decorative stitch in the center of each pinwheel for the quilting.......was easy and quick.

    Use it as a center medallion for a larger quilt. You can add borders and maybe other blocks around it. You might wind up with a huge quilt with this charming center. I like. I would also quilt it. If you machine quilt it, it will work out fine. Hand quilting might be difficult.

    You guys rock with ideas! I like the "center medallion" idea too! Yeesh, I need to get this little guy done. I also need to make a written list of all of the ideas as I'll never remember all of them.

    Thanks so much!

    How about quilting a feathered wreath "to see if you can do it"?

    What Twister kits did you order? What are the designs?

    Jen.....the kits were just the generic twister patterns.....I think only one of each was offered. I was primarily interested in the template.
