A whole quilt is in the book and it's stunning! The book is well worth the money as there are several designs in it that one would like to make (I am).
Here is a link to get an idea.

http://country-schoolhouse.com/twister_tool.htm

Now I did a research on the twister and found a template and a pattern you must purchase. I think the template is a waste of time and fabric. It has you sewing four squares together and then you line up the template and cut around it, wasting lots of fabric and not to mention extra sewing.

The template I use is the direct patch to sew and no lining ip of seams required. One can go to the web and see how to put it together.

I will try to figure out in inches and lines how to make this easy one patch template and post it here. If I am successful, I will be back within a short time with the instruction.

Ok, company came by so now I'm back with your template for those of you who would like to try it.

Take you ruler and lay it on a sheet of paper, line up the right side and the bottom of the paper with the ruler to measure a square of 4 and 3/4 by 4 inches.

Now draw the square in with a mechanical pencil (fine point). While the ruler is in place, mark a dot or line (is better) 2 and 1/4 inch from the left side. What is left is 1 and 3/4 ins on the right side which equals the 4 inches of the square right?

Now from the right side down from the line, measure 2 inches down and make a dot or line.

Line up the dot at the top of the square to the one down the right side and draw a line.

Line up the same dot at the top with the bottom of the left side and draw a line. This is the template... Cut out and glue to template plastic. The 1/4 ins seam allowance is include.

There is a slightly different method in Anita Grossman Solomon's book "Rotary Cutting Revolution"
I have wanted to try it but haven't gotten to it yet. It has been a while since I looked at it, but I believe that you mark your cutting board as a guide. Make all the cuts from a square of fabric (layered at least 4) before moving the fabric. Then place the pieces on your design wall just like this one. Eliminates both the template and the waste.
