Thought I'd share photos of my version of the Christmas tree twister. It's smaller than other ones I've seen. The first photo is pre the last border needed before cutting with twister tool. The other hasn't been squared and needs borders, but I thought I'd show it in this state. I tried to use two colors of garlands and the blue didn't show well in photo. I also went for a simpler trunk.. It's not perfect but if I can find the right fabric for borders, I'll finish it soon. I think it needs a red stopper and something with gold in it for outside border. I've been to 3 quilt shops in last couple of days, but haven't found final border yet. I'll probably use the red from garland for stopper border.

When I was on vacation, I found the new Let's Twist... Again, and it has some great patterns, even one for a heart wreath. Love the twister, my new favorite this year. Thanks for sharing the pics.

I've never seen these before. It's wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

I found the heart on web and it looks fun and easy. I've really enjoyed this little twister tool and experimenting, too.

Neat idea! Great job!

That turned out really nice...I have both of the templates but haven't done anything with it yet.

I love your tree! :thumbup:

Too cute

Love it, sooooooooo cute

that's a wonderful piece. thanks for showing the before and after layout.

That is just adorable. Did u use the 5" squares or the 3.5"?

very cool!

I actually started with four" squares. My husband cut me a smaller twister tool that measures 2 3/4" square. (He used a plastic picture frame that cost about $2 at Wal-Mart. He scored the lines and filled with permanent black ink. It works just fine except it is thin plastic and I was worried rotary cutter would damage it. We put little sandpaper-like dots on back to keep it from slipping when cutting and also to make sure I cut with the right side up!) It would be easy to make with 5" blocks.

That's just too cute.

Neat

A really cute tree, I like your diagonal placement of the colors.

Beautiful! What size is the square after cutting with the twister tool?

Its so cute, I have fabric to try one but need to find some free time...

When you cut the twists do you have to cut all the white squares too and sew them back together ??

I've never seen this technique before. Very cute!

Really nice Like the design

your tree is really nice. I have the large twister tool but not used it yet.

Those "twisters" are SO FUN, AND your tree is darling~ ♥

I like that ... just purchased the twister template at shop hop and plan on making it this month... thanks for sharing

Just checking ... is it 5" fabric squares and the twister plastic tool is 3-1/2" ??

And the 10" fabric squares, what size is the plastic?

And the Mini sized one ... what size for both?

would hate to cut and sew ... and then discover I have the wrong size of plastic. THANKS!

like it...my friend and I had several size templates cut at Lowes

Can you possibly help me out with my question about fabric and plastic sizes? And perhaps there are more sizes than I have asked about above?
Please? and Thanks!

Love your color layout. I have bookmarked this and will probably steal your layout idea! I have the same rows, etc., but couldn't decide on how to do the colors. Thanks!

cute tell us how u did it
where did u palce ur blocks?

Looks nice and Christmas-y ... I really like this one!
Hope you find the fabric you want for the border. That sometimes is the most frustrating part, isn't it? You know what you want ... and can't find it!

When you say smaller ... what size are your fabric squares? and what size of plastic template did you use?
Please? and Thanks!

Love your twister tree.......thank you for sharing!

How cute!! I'm wondering if the planning was very complicated. Will have to try to find this pattern on the web.

Adorable. I love the twister tool, but there is no reason to settle for only the sizes they offer, as you can just use the same angles and downsize it or upsize it to what suits you exactly.:)

Neat!!!!

So cute! What a great idea.

Cute tree!

I am on I phone but will try to answer. I used a. Tool 2 3/4
Square (made by husband) so that is size of cut block. I used squares on all whites too...it keeps tesselation going. Probably misspelled that but no dictionary in car. After finishing, I considered 2 changes. First leaving off top green so star is nestled into green and also considered putting some sort of triangle! Truth, i'm happy as is. Leaving off top green would have made it squatter!

This board is so supportive! Thanks all.

Anyone ele who can answer questions, please jump in.

Add... I am away from home for weekend when I get home and can measure my templates, I will. For those who haven,t see technique before, search on board or Google Twister tool tutorial. I started by buying 5" and big tool and book, but have seen other wonderful tires on computer. Don't miss twister wreath...so easy and cute! Fingers too big for I phone!
