I have recently purchased the twister cutting tool and love the twister pattern. Sometime ago I purchased a pack of 24 6" squares all similar theme and colour. What I was wondering was how do I sew these squares together so I get a twister pattern. I have done a twister wreath, but there was only two colours plus the border. So, do I just sew all the squares together add a border then cut, and if I do, does it give me a true twister pattern. Hope this makes sense. It is confusing me because all the patterns on the squares are different.

lay out your 6 inch squares in an eye pleasing pattern then sew them together to make a quilt. With only 24 orgional squares, you will need to add a lot of tone on tone or blender fabrics to make a good size top.....yes it will seem ''weird'' to make a full size quilt top and then, using your Twister ruler, cut it all apart and sew those ''new'' squares back together. You will get the twister pattern but the first time you use the ruler, it will seem very weird.

The twister tool is designed to work with 5 inch squares, so you will have quite a bit of 'waste' if you use 6 inch squares. Isn't there a pattern with the tool?

Here's a few samples to look at as a guide. Your wreath was so nice.....just do it the same way, it should work out.

Thanks for the help with 'Lil Twister', and for the web sites which I have looked at. Will post pictures when finished.
