Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I just got the mini twister ruler and had to try it out. Found out I have to be really careful with the fabric I choose. Thought I had a good contrast but the twisters don't show up well. Next time I will use fabric with little to no pattern and very contrasting colors.
I also wanted to try out my new dresden plate ruler, now I will have to decide what the background should be and the center circle.
Very pretty! I know we don't NEED new rulers but aren't they fun? I want to get the new X block ruler for my next fun thing.
You are correct about the Twister ruler -- too much work not to have the pinwheels show up. I really love your fabric choices though, they are totally out of my box. The dresden place is beautiful!

Great job on both of them!
Both are really great!!!!!
They are both nice. For the Twister, if you use a background the doesn't have as much going on in it, your twists will pop more. You can then use a busier border print. Nice job on both of them!
nice to both
I cut the squares for a twister quilt today, hope mine have enough contrast - I am using prints from the Tonga Pink Lemonade line and alternated the brights with one of the lighter yellow prints.
I also figured out it would be better to use an odd number of squares and rows so that I could have a bright square in each corner.

I love the colors you used in both of these projects. Is that from a special collection or just your own great taste? Yummy!!!

I think you did a great job with both and agree that maybe the background fabric for the mini twister would look best if it was a solid color. The fabric you used is very pretty!!
