Ok...So, someone posted something about the Twister Tool leaving too much waste. Keep in mind, I just made a quilt top using the LARGE Twister Tool.
This is what I came up with for the scrap so far.
I cut the leftover squares down to 4 1/4" square.
I put them right sides together and sewed 1/4" seam around the entire block.
Then, I cut the diagonal both ways, and ended up with 4 HST, per set of 4 1/4" blocks. I played with the HSTs I made, and came up with this block.
I'm working on using the rest of the scrap to put it into a runner. I'm going to have to change what I have, but at least it's an idea. :)

Awesome!

Very pretty!

Thanks DW I an making my mom a lap quilt with the large twister, now I know what to do with the scraps!!

Very nice! It has to be an awefully tiny piece of scrap for it to be useless!

Love it,great idea

Great job!

you really know how to 'work your fabric' - wowzie

wow it looks realy nice,nice work

Thanks so much, Dawn...bookmarking this! Haven't made a Twister yet but it is on the ever-growing 'to do' list :)

I know that you cut carefully, you can take the smaller twister tool and cut the scraps and make a smaller version of the larger quilt you made. It is probably better to draw, then cut when you do that.

I will be bookmarking this also, because I was the one to question the waste, and such a great way to make use of it.

Great job!

Wow!!! That is great.

Very inventive and a really pretty design. That's what's great about this board....someone raises a question and someone else comes up with a brilliant solution.

That looks great! I have both the large and the small tool and haven't made either yet...thinking about the wase. Thanks for the idea!!

Very clever - and very pretty!

Awesome!!

wow, great way to make 2 quilts out of one!

Great save!!

Great job. Thanks for sharing these tips. Waste not, want not!

Great idea! I try to use my twister scraps in my borders or reverse side of project!

What a great idea! Thanks.

That's pretty!

Nice save on the leftovers!! Seeing it up close...i love the dragonfly fabric!!!

Very clever!! Love the pattern you have come up with. Well done :thumbup:

That is what I thought too!!

Awesome!

WOW,i just love your fabric :thumbup: can't wait to see the twister quilt. Connie in CO

Very nice work! I like it.

Gorgeous fabrics and colours! Beautiful.

Nice save.

Very pretty :)
I also used up my scraps from the twister I made and ya know what? At the end there was very little waste so I was pleased :) They made great squares with very little waste.

I love what you're doing with the runner :)

I really like what you have done with the scraps. You have created a brand new project that could be made to go along with your original quilt on a dresser.

Awesome, well I saved mine back to do something with, now I know what!
