very nice....thank you...I got my twister tools from a member on this site....They are a "hoot" to use....

is it finished yet???

there is a MINI one coming out at the end of the month..I already have it on order!

you can go to the "search" section and type in lil' twister..you will be flooded with responses to look at and read!

there is a also a pattern(link) to doing this without the template and with NO wasted fabric pieces. wish I could find that again!

Thanks Jacquie, I'll do that.

Is this the tute you are looking for????? This is one without waste or ruler!

Looks good to me!

This pattern looks like a tessalating quilt I made a while back. Here is a pic without the "borders" on. I found these fabrics already cut out with the magazine they came from at a rummage sale for 50 cents. They are all older fabrics (80's and 90's) I believe. I do have the top done but not quilted if you would like to see a pic...I will post it tomorrow.

I do these windmills without the twister tool - no waste, no tools to buy and very quick.

The tutorial link above is a good one for the no-tool method, but the concept is easy to grasp to do them in any size your squares are.

I have to say that I don't see the point of buying a special square and wasting half the fabric when it's easier and more economical to cut the blades by hand!

I agree with you, maggiem, the template that came with the above quilt pic was a blade...no waste there.
