If you make your own pattern, what are the measurements for a larger square? I think I would be better off working with something larger to start with. Wouldn't you know I don't have a 3 1/2 inch square but a 4 inch one anyway. I have bought too much fabric so no more rulers for awhile. Thanks for your help. Blessings Kathryn

This is the first time I've posted with multiple pics.....I'm hoping everything shows up ok
Beautiful looking quilt. I've always wanted to make one of these, but just haven't been able to figure it out until now. But I'm still not sure I've figured it out. In your template it says 3/4" on three sides and in the upper right hand corner it says 1". Why aren't all four 3/4" or 1". Why does it make a difference to have that extra 1/4" in the upper right hand corner. I hope you can explain this. Thanks!!
Glad I read the thread, I was about to ask the same question. Why is one corner 1" and the other three are 3/4"???

on the large size ruler..8" i used 1 and 3/4" inch markings all around. did a mock up in paper first! lol!
not sure why one would be different than the other 3.

Thanks. I just cut my plexiglass 8" and am getting ready to mark my lines. So if I mark 1" on one corner and 3/4 on the other 3, I will be OK then?

the pictures she showed were for the small ruler..

for the larger ruler, 8" i marked them at 1 3/4".

Beth, someone mentioned that the "X block" ruler/patterns are basicly the same thing.
i don't have that ruler, but i meant to check it out.

there are so many beautiful twister items out there..

the pot holder one in my album was made by a gal on another board..i love the striped fabric she used for the border!
great idea, and wouldn't they make nice gifts..
