    Default Twister Christmas Tree

    First, thanks to 'ladyinred' for posting the pattern! I thought this would take much longer to make then it actually did once I got started. All the colored fabrics were scraps.

    For me, Jenny Doan's tutorial made all the difference for a successful twister project. Her suggestion of cutting and sewing one row at a time helped me. Also, for me, I identify each square in a row with a number - always in the same location within the square. By doing that I managed to ONLY have 4 twister squares that I had to reconnect.
