I made a double bed sized Twister and used the scraps with the smaller tool to but the borders on matching pillow slips.

I cut one set into tiny squares for nine patch coasters...would also make miniature quilt or Christmas ornament blocks.

Hi Billie Jean, I looked at this again this morning, and hope you will, too.
A twister quilt is made by sewing squares together to equal much larger than what you end up with. Then you put this tool or some homemade template (mine was homemade) over the cross seams at an angle and cut out a new square. After all the squares have been cut the new way, you are left with a small square from each block on the bias that is supposedly scrap. My squares started out at 6 inches, and I ended up with 3 inch scrap squares. Made a beautiful checkerboard. If you google Twister Quilt, you may come up with a picture. I haven't tried it.

Oh this is good to know, as I just got a kit and after reading the instructions that was my first thought, there are going to be alot of leftover scraps-thank-you so much for posting this information.

Go find Anita Grossman's book Rotary cutting revolution and avoid the leftovers.Hate quilt designers who have us cut way too much waste or "BonusBlocks" as one designer called it all. At 12.49/yd. Wow thanks for letting me vent. I also get a discount cause I work in a shop...Pegeth
