I was playing around with exactly that idea today. After finishing the little twister table topper, I did some math and used 3.5 in square little twister template (6 in. charms) and figured a minimum 6.5 in square for the big twister (10 in cake layers).

Then, when I actually drew out the "sewn together" squares of 9.5 inches ---- placed the little twister template on top of 6.5 in square acrylic ruler I have on hand. Tracing that on paper, there is leftover fabric so I think the large twister could be 7.5 in square.

Any suggestions welcome :-)
try it again, with 8 inch ruler..
