This is the 2nd twister I've done, and both times I made my own template. The first time, I used some heavy cardboard. This time, my DH cut me a piece of plexiglas.

Just make a square of the size you want to use, then measure in from each corner the same amount, something less than 1/2 the length of the side, and make a mark. Then draw intersecting lines from each corner to the opposite. You end up with an X that is "offset". (In this picture, A, B, C and D are equal distance.)

If you use cardboard, you'd need to cut out a little hole right where the lines intersect, so you can aline the lines on your template with the seams of your blocks underneath.

Love how colorful your quilt is and that mice fabric adds such fun to it. Nicely done.
