Twister Patterns
 

Hi,

Ok, I have been bitten by the Lil Twister Quilt Pattern Bug. I picked up the 3.5" template. Now that I am home I wish I would have found a book to go with it.

Are there any patterns out there to make a baby quilt? I understand that there is a big down size once you cut out your template pieces from your original block lay out. So, I am wondering how big the original block lay out has to be for a baby quilt using the 3.5 template.


Thanks for any tips, can't wait to make something with this little piece of plastic.

Googling "free twister quilt patterns"brought up a few, here's a blog with pictures http://quiltsinthebarnaus.blogspot.c...nus-quilt.html

thanks for the link... that's a nice tut

here's a tut that uses the small twister http://happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot...quilt-for.html
it may be a size to use for a baby quilt

Thank you, I went to the site, very nice directions. I am going to try and make it 48" square to start with and hope I end up with something in the range of 30-36" for a finished twister baby quilt. Then I can add more border if needed.

A quilt the size you want for a baby using all baby fabrics. That would make a beautiful baby quilt.

Nancy, this is perfect. Thank you so much.

you're welcome

If you have the small twister, it cuts 3.5" square (so 3" finished). So, for your 36" finsihed quilt, you need 12x12 blocks = 144 blocks. The blocks start at 5", so you need 144 5" squares to end up with a 36" quilt from your twister ruler.
