Is there a good book on the twister pinwheel that actually uses the template and not squares put together, cut up and then resewed.

I think that would be very hard to do. if you cut out the twister , how would you sew each one together?

i have seen it done just don't have a book. the pinwheel i did was very easy and i guess i just need a really good photo and can redesign it.

I have a book of the Twister patterns but each one is made the regular way. If you'd like when I get home I'll get you the name of the book.

I can't get these messages to go through. I would love the name of the book. I think just a good pic would help. The pinwheel quilt in my avitar was easy with the template but each row is same color.

You can make a pattern for the two pieces and just sew as normal blocks. I'm in a camper in Ohio or I would draw one out and scan it in. Graph paper and I get along pretty well.:)

it definitely can be done without the twister tool. it would take a lot of organization as the different parts of each block would have to contain the piece of the right pinwheel color.

Arent they known as tesselation quilts? Lots of those on the internet and books

I had forgotten that but I think you are right!

I just got back from Grandbury's quilt show and bought the big twister temp and a the book "Let's Twist ... Again"
web add. www.country-schoolhouse.com. It has patterns for bought small and lg. hope this helps.
