I just finished a new draft--trying for a smaller tree. Tomorrow I'll try to put it together and see if it works. I have seen the second twist book, I think it's called "Let's Twist Again." BUt I've only seen it online. I would like to glance through pages to see if it's worth me spending more since I have already bought one book and two tools. It is addictive. I'm wondering if there will be lots more patterns at the International Quilt Festival this fall.

If you want to send a private e-mail address, I can forward the pictures otherwise I don't know how to get them to you.

I know how to copy and paste the link, but I was trying to send pictures and they would not paste on this page...maybe I am totally dumb when it comes to this computer,,,,but I PM'd them to her and they are really cool.
Thanks so much for your help. I REALLY like your little quarter size lil twister wall hanging..

Here is a quick look at the way the lil twister tree should be laid out. It isn't a tut, just some instructions on how many blocks you need to do before you twist. Hope it helps someone.

Good job, Katie. I have a smaller version graphed out with a different trunk, but before I share, I want to make a version. The one I'm working on is nine rows by nine rows....May not work at all, but I thought I'd try. Unfortunately it may be a couple of days.

Thank you for sharing this! I have made the Christmas wreath and now I can make the tree.

That's whats so neat about this twister, so I'll be looking forward to your pictures. I was thinking of doing it in 1 1/2" template, but I have a bunch of projects that have to come first.

Cant wait to see your result. I just got a 2 1/2 inch square but am not quite sure what measurement to use to draw my lines I am thinking 1/2 or 3/4 inch ...anyone have one that could measure theres and let me know???

I've searched for this using the term "twister", but I can't find the discussion/pictures you're talking about. Do you know the name of the discussion? Or is there some way to get to all the August 25th subjects? if so, I haven't figured out how.

Thanks,
Margaret
