Very pretty, been wanting to make a twister. By the way, I have some friends that live in Midland. The Blocker Family. Wouldn't happen to know them would you. Actually met them in San Diego. One of the "kids" lived there.

I love your block. What a pretty print fabric. I just got my twister template in the mail. I can't wait to try it out.

I love the colors! If you make a whole quilt, please share it. I would love to see it!

I had not seen this method at all. The lady that sold these to me said to use the waste blocks with the little twister & make a border or another small quilt. I haven't thought that through yet. I did have a 5" block left when I was through but I had gone past the corners with my rotary cutter & the corners were cut up which made it unusable with this tool. When I make a quilt with these tools I'll have to be more careful!
