I was asked to make a twister quilt. I was showen a picture of a quilt that someone had done. I thought it would be really hard. I started looking and found the twister ruler. OMG i think its my favorite Quilt todo at the moment. I just dont like the amount of waste from doing the quilt. but the effect is worth it. This is the sample I am made.[ATTACH=CONFIG]518074[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]518075[/ATTACH] I am gonna finish this and use it cover a end table or put it in the center of my table.

That came out great. Love the gingham. I also have a thing about the waste with the twister tool. You can square them up & sew them back together, but if youa re into minis, they also make a teeny tiny twister that you can use to recut

I've done a couple. They are fun and kind of addicting too :-) Nice job on yours.

The Twister can be made with another technique, for those who don't have the tool. Cut 4 Squares of different fabrics, say 6 inch x 6 inch. Stack them. Mark each side at 2 inch, and 4 inch (each side is marked into thirds) then use your plastic ruler and rotary cutter to cut your stack into 4 pieces. Cut across from the 2-inch mark to the 4-inch mark along the opposite side. Cut from the 4-inch mark to the 2-inch mark along top to bottom. You will end up with 16 identical pieces, which you then mix and swap around to make 4 new squares. Lay them out so that the pinwheels appear. Stitch. Then trim to perfect squares (now about 5 1/2 inch x 5 1/2 inch). These trimmed squares will make your row. Do your entire lay-out before you sew the rows. I learned this technique from Benita Skinner several years ago.

Great quilt! I love how the twister quilts turn out.. I just don't know about the waste. I have to think about it some more before I try one
