I have this product. Larger quilts use the layer cake and smaller use the charms. I have two sets of charms ready to go withthe smaller template. It looks like a great way to put a little juice back into a fun quilt. And it is on my project stack for a Cristmas gift. Actually I have several of my Christmas gift already cut, stored in their own container with a copy of the pattern. This works for me so on the days that I'm not quite feel well, but still want to spend time in my happy room, I can take one of my pre-cut "kits" and it gives me a nice comfortagble pleasure. But I never pre-cut any borders for any quilt. I think you really have to be a very intermediate to advance quilter to be that sure of yourself.

I have the big twister. I can't wait to try it but I'm askeered because of the bias edges. I'm planning to do the original layout in a checkerboard type pattern.

I saw a demo of both rulers at a recent shop hop and picked up both. I find myself putting off starting because I too am a little (LOT) nervous about all the bias edges.

I did not have any difficulty with the bias edges. When I placed the two edges together and noticed one length was a tad longer, I pinned and placed the longer edge on the bottom so the feeddogs would take it up evenly with the top edge.

If you are hesitant about working with the bias edges, I would suggest you use starch or fabric finish on the fabric prior to cutting. Truly this is a pattern which is loads of fun to do.

Mimiknoxtaylor, I just reread your posting. My husband stayed out in the car, too!!!! As I recall, the shop has a website and several other kits available for purchase.

Can't wait to get home next week & try it out!

I found that instead of cutting with my rotary cutter I trace around the template then cut. The pieces go together great. Don't worry about the bias. Love them!
