    There are 4 sizes of the Twister Rulers. Twister uses 10" squares, Lil' Twister uses 5" squares, Primitive Pinwheel Tool uses 3 1/2" squares and Itty Bitty Primitive Pinwheel Tool uses 2 1/2" squares.

    thank you very much. the only thing different I would do it make the bulk of the white a solid block them do the smaller pieces. Thank you for that.
    SMILE- it will make everyone wonder what you are up to.
    Stay strong and keep looking up.

    How many 5" squares across and down did you do, if I go by your measurements I would guess at 8x9? Someone was saying in the other thread that you sew them together in a pyramid shape? Any help would be appreciated as I would really like to try this.

    please check out my second post in the tutorial section with the drawing of the pattern. I used the mini Twister tool for my tree.

    I have mine almost done but I used larger squares as I don't have the mini twister ruler yet. I only have the med and large.. thanks for posting your directions I saved them so I can make the smaller one too.
