I made the template 1-1/2" on each corner with the / at the top. I like the way it turned out....should I use those borders???

it turned out great....the yellow makes it pop.

the blue border...outer one is a lot prettier than it looks LOL...

I love the top, and those borders will make it sing!! :D:D:D

Stunning!

So you made your own template? Tell me more.

Oh, and I like the contrast of the yellow border.

Love the top, but neither of those borders. I'd try to choose something that is close to one of the fabrics already in the top. JMHO

Heres a picture....I just kinda guessed at the measurements, I think it is a very forgiving pattern.

I like the yellow for the border.

I love this. I've got to buy this pattern. Maybe put it on my Christmas List.

Looks very nice. Love the colurs. What size blocks did you have to start with and what is the sidth of the border?

I like the yellow, but maybe shop around for a different blue for the wide border.

Beautiful

Looks great! I think the borders will too. You're right too, this is a very forgiving pattern, no need to be exact really, as these seams don't meet, & they all come out pinwheels, so that makes it even easier! I am working on my borders now, for my wreath design, can't wait to show it to you all! This is such a fun quilting idea!

You don't really need any pattern, just make your own template, check out the info on the tutorials around for this, & go for it!

Love the yellow border!

Your experiment is wonderful I like the yellow border best.Thanks for sharing with us!

I'm thinking that the yellow border is terrific, but I'd like to then see a bright blue outer, wider border.

The top looks beautiful. You did a good job. Anxious to hear what size squares you used to start with.

Very pretty!

I found it! Thanks for all the tips. I love it. Turned out beautiful!

That's a great twister!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love your fabric choices for borders too :)

Lovely...looks like a fun project...love the idea of a yellow border (I would use the other fabric too and then maybe bind in yellow). Thanks for sharing your pretty creation.

What size squares did you start with...and did you just sew 4patches together then again and again???

I really like your quilt top and I think the borders are just going to make this quilt! Thanks for sharing!

So pretty. I recently bought the twister ruler but haven't tried it yet. I think it will have to be moved up on my project list now and try one after Christmas.

I agree, trying to think what I would want????

I need a pattern & the tool.

I had no idea there was a book....someone on the board said it originally was the McCall mag in 1998...I've never seen a copy of the original but it sure caught on...

Thanks for the picture of the template. I was trying to figure out the angles. I hate spending all that money for something that seems so simple. Hmmmmm....something to play with in the kitchen this afternoon. (more Kitchen Stitchin'?)

What size squares did you start out with...if I understand this correctly, one sews a bunch of squares together basically making a quilt top, then you recut with the template......

That seems like a very nice size. Good job!

Oh yes, Use them. It will be awesome!

5" squares, 5 across and 5 down with 3" borders for the 3 1/2" template

I can see you have a lot of us hooked on your wonderful quilt. Cannot wait to see the outcome with the borders you have chosen.

the borders are on...I like the way it looks, very scrappy

Really lovely!!

I see now,the yellow really brings out the lighter colors and you can see the yellows come out.

Oooohhhh!!! That looks Gooooood!!! I made mine out of Moda's Miss Jump's Scrap Bag. When my daughter and son-in-law saw it they loved it. So guess what they're getting for Christmas? I have 52 charm squares left so I am going to put them together and see what I get. I think it will be a runner.

Very beautiful and thanks for sharing.

I just called windy moon quilts and they have both the twister templet and one called twisted sisters for making the pinwheels. I had them put me one aside for tomorrows pick up. This should be fun.
