I'm not sure I'm ready for the twister yet. It blows my mind!

thank you krafty14, will look for the book. does the book show the lil twister being used also?

Oh, they're fun too. Look at my avatar. That is a silk quilt made with 10" blocks. It was soooo fun.

No Salsalady. None of the blocks in this book require a special ruler to create. But I am enjoying doing it this way. It really gives you a chance to rearrange the windmills, where the twister is set by how you sew the original blocks together. Hope you find one you like!!

Thank you, Thank you!

I have Anita Solomon's book too, and tried her method on some 5" charm squares I had. The result was fun, successful and not at all wasteful. As the poster above said, the only waste was from squaring the blocks. No special ruler is necessary and I found her template easily adaptable to other sizes.

I have created in "my pages" information about the lil twister, has tutorials, pictures and more

Thanks for putting this all together, there is a lot of information about the lil twister to look at.

I had to sample this twister myself today, placed tape on my 4 1/2" square ruler as directed in an earlier tut., cut four 6" squares in purples and blues, and a 4" wide border all around. Put a new blade in my rotery cutter, and cut as directed. I was really happy with the results, will probably do the larger pinwheel to make a quilt for my grandson, should go pretty fast?! :wink:
