the number of 5" squares & your grid will determine the end result I think. |
Right - sew 5" blocks together - what you want to make determines number of rows across & down.
wreath was a 5x5 grid with a 3" border to begin with - then begin cutting as directions that came with template show (first cut will be into borders) Then arrange new squares into wreath shape. note whatever you have for outside & middle blocks will be inside/outside of wreath runner was a grid of 2x7 (I think) with a 3" border Have I confused you more? |

Does that help? |

I did exactly as you said, but the directions ended there.
They said nothing about keeping them in order. So I did keep each line seperate but not sure they were in order. Hence my problem.

The cut blocks should be tilted at this point. Then just gently tilt them them to the right so they are matched squares. You will instantly see the "twister" now. Stitch the blocks back into rows then join the rows. After this is done, you add more border to it. I use the same border fabric. Then quilt and bind as usual. I am making one right now and if you still are having trouble, I can take some pictures as I go and post them for you. |
