    Default Which Twister ruler?

    Which size of Twister ruler do you use the most, the one for 5" or for 10"?

    I must watch this thread, because I so want to do a twister quilt. My guess is what you want the finished product to be. a quilt or a wall hanging. Look forward to more answers.

    I am also interested in making a twister quit, and do not know the answer to your question. Will be anxiously waiting for answers.

    Is it possible to get the middle size template and be able to use it for bigger size blocks with the help of another ruler you already have??

    That depends on what size you want to make. The 5" is for wallhangings and the 10" for larger quilts. I use both. If I want it larger, I add more squares to the layout. Love the method.

    You can actually use the middle size and make a larger quilt I use it for wallhangings and baby quilts I have a friend who used it for a full size quilt just by doubling the amount of blocks used

    I only have the smaller one, and I made a twin sized quilt. You just have to add more blocks. I used several charm packs and it looked nice. It was kind of scrappy.

    Oh My!!! I have fallen in love with the itty bitty twister which is 1 inch in size....I must have all three sizes because just playing around, I imagine all kinds of possibilities. Saw one done in Batiks that was absolutely wonderful.

    I've only used the one for 5 inch, but I would say it makes an attractive quilt.
