I bought the Little Twister recently. Have my top of squares & borders done, but haven't cut out the pinwheels yet. Yes, there is extra fabric between the squares when you cut the pinwheel squares out. I plan to sew the extra pieces together for a pieced border around the pinwheels, so my finished pinwheel top will be closer to the size of the original top of squares.

No, they aren't. The squares are cut to 5" and sewn together....then you use the Twister to cut them down. However, you can use the small Thimble Template with your waste. (The large Thimble Template can be used with the waste of the regular Twister ruler.)

While there is waste to the twister ruler.....I think the resulting quilt top is worth it. I've made a number of lapquilts using both the large and small.....they just look great when they're done....and everyone who sees them gives me positive feedback.

You will have scrap squares with bias edges left after you cut the twisters. This is how I used mine. Hope this helps.
