I only have the small one & would like one to make larger blocks.
Let me know if you have one for sale & price.

The 8" tool uses 10" blocks, the 3½" tool uses 5" blocks, the 2¼" tool uses 3½" blocks and the 1½" tool uses 2½" blocks.

OK.....to me that just looks like a plastic square with an "X" drawn on it. How do you use it?

And Primitive Gatherings makes 2 more smaller Twister Tools.
They use 3.5 in sq. and 2.5 in sq. They are fun too !
We give classes on the Twister at our quilt shop and I would say, that is the most fun way to learn to use it. Sometimes the directions can be a bit confusing....so take the class and have fun with others !
I am working on twisters all the time LOVE THEM !

it made a nice Christmas present for my sister-in-law!

Watterstide , you mean two inches larger than the tool.

I made my own 2 1/2 tool and just finished 4 wreaths for Christmas, two smaller and two larger. The only difference between the two is the smaller is 6 blocks x 6 blocks, the larger one is 8 blocks x 8 blocks. These are so much fun.

These are beautiful! I love the bows!

Grann of 6, your avatar is beautiful. I can't imagine how luxurious all that silk and velvet must feel.

Thank you! Here are some better pics of it. The white border is made from silk taffeta left from my DDIL's wedding gown I made for her. I did SID on the silk through the batting, then hand-tied the backing with silk embroidery floss through the centers. It was a labor of love. I hope this doesn't post twice, as I am have trouble "sending" it.

Lost the pics in the whole posting, will try again.
