Thanks for all the help.
Watterstide- I love yours!!

I can't see spending that kind of money on the teeny ones.
The other link has better prices or I may just see if I can make my own.

I have the large one. I want the smaller ones but don't want to spend the money. A while back someone on here had instructions on how to make them. I am just going to make me one when i get caught up on the projects i already have started. Leaves more money for fabric, i think i am addicted to it. lol

I only have the small one & would like one to make larger blocks.
Let me know if you have one for sale & price.

The 8" tool uses 10" blocks, the 3½" tool uses 5" blocks, the 2¼" tool uses 3½" blocks and the 1½" tool uses 2½" blocks.

Thank your very much for that!
Your work is so great!!!
A hug!

For those who want to know what a twister tool is and what the resulting quilts look like, you might do a search at top of the page for "twister." There have been lots of beautiful quilts made. It's a fun project. I understand it may be based on a "Magic Pinwheel" pattern in a magazine (maybe an Australian one, but not 100 percent sure.)

a bunch of girls volunteer to have/give classes on line, in real time. "PJ" because they start in the evening.. so west coast and east coast can join in. everyone is is busy in the summer, so we wait until winter months.

i made my own twister tools..i bought the large and small one, and then made sizes in-between. you can go to my profile and search the topics section. or email me
