Ok so I got anxious to try this method. I have not gotten my pattern or ruler yet but hey I thought I can do this.... :roll:
So here we go.. I started out with my 4 1/2" in Go Baby blocks. Asked for alittle help on the QB. so now this is what I have gotten done so far. Not sure how it is going to turn out in the end but hey I tried. lol..
I think I should have started with a smaller amount of squares but I figured I would make it into a lap throw..

How did you make your own ruler? I keep seeing these beautiful quilts made from the Twister and want to make one. Sooner or later.

The 3 1/2" Lil twister template you ordered calls for 5" squares so your blocks may not be big enough.
I would recommend you look through the twister topics and figure out how to make a 3" twister. They would probably work with 4 1/2" squares. Make your marks at 3/4".
Here is one with lots of info:

Be sure and read page 6.
good luck.

Lol if you want to call it a ruler.. lol.. I made a 3 1/2 square od cardboard. sewed the blocks together and checked to make sure it was going to work. Good thing I checked.. 3 1/2 was to big soooooo I cut it down to 3 since my starting blocks were only 4 1/2 " and not the normal 5". I just marked off one of my other rulers on the back side to 3" and drew my lines on scotch tape on the back side of the ruler.Originally Posted by arbed31

And you were worried it wouldn't look right :) I love it. Good thing you checked the 3.5. Looks great though. I have yet to do anything scrappy. It intimidates me :) Very niceOriginally Posted by fidgety

I did 8 inch squares. And then I used my 6.5 inch ruler and drew lines an inch and a half from each corner. So from the right corner I went in to the left. The top left corner I went down. I drew on my ruler with a permanent marker. The 8 inch squares just barely worked. I think I did a 6 inch border. Anyways that's what I did. I actually got a bit of help from another member. good luckOriginally Posted by arbed31
