I don't know how to do it, but it's really really awesome

This is a kind of walk thru of the first one I did, in the pic of the top with the drawn squares on it, those are what ya cut and sew back together. You do want to make sure that ya keep 'em in order or it gets all messed up. I only did rows of 5 at a time to make that part easier. If you do a search of the boards, I believe there is an actual tute put up on the whole process that is much more detailed.

**Edit**
Ok, so I was wrong. There is no tute that I could find. However, if ya search the term twister, there are a ton of posts and pics full of great and useful info. I didn't use the "Official" tools or books, just picked up what I could from the boards and winged it. If ya have any questions, just ask. I have no doubts all of us here could help ya thru it.


Thanks~ I was just watching some tutorials on you tube. Great quilt

I love the twister, to me, they are simple. Take 5" blocks, sew them together in strips, then use the template and cut, then resew the cut blocks. Love how this turned out.

LOL! Yes it sure did but, only due to having 3 other projects going at the time.
