I have this and I love it. I have the 10# template and have made 2 baby quilts using just nine 10" blocks to start with (3 blocks across and 3 blocks down). When it is all done, it ends up being a perfect smaller size for a baby quilt. Now I am in the process of doing 4 bigger qults (using seven 10" blocks across adn nine down) for my teenage neices for Xmas in bright color shades of green, blue, red and yellow/gold. They are such fun and vibrant colors for the teenagers. I have had no problems sewing them back together on the bias. This is a fun and quick pattern to acomplish--I believe even a beginner can do it----oh that would be me! --I've only been quilting about two years and I work full time and have two teenage daughters so I really don't have much time to quilt! Have fun with your "Twister".

There is not much waste, about 2.25" - 2.50" squares, when you cut out the 'twisters', then you have some on the outer boarder, IMHO that would be no different that when your making flying geese method of square onto the rectangle. I jokingly refer to goose p**p!

I made a couple of these quilts several years ago from a book called "Square Dance" by Martha Thompson (1995). Had to make my own templates and draw them on the sewn squares, then cut them out with scissors. The book had pattens for up to 6" squares. It really was fun to make! I didn't realize there were new templates available, but may decide to look for some now.
