    I have the small twister to use on 5" blocks. I just wondered what size the tool is to use on 10" blocks.

    The 6 1/2" must be the size to use on 10" blocks. It measures 9 1/4" corner-to-corner diagonally. Thanks for helping me figure this out.

    The large twister tool is 8" square for 10" blocks or layer cakes. There are 4 sizes available.

    I have used the small twister tool as a boarder for a wall hanging. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-128042-1.htm

    you sew 5"squares together and then using the lines on the twisting tool, cut little squares out that overlap from one block to another. really very effective but time consuming.

    What size are the blocks for the different sizes of twister tools?
    I only have the small one & would like one to make larger blocks.
    Let me know if you have one for sale & price.
