    Hi Karen....If you look at the avatar I changed to it is made from the smaller Twister ruler. I only used 2 colors for my blocks and then used a third color for my border. It's a lot of fun to use no matter if to make it scrappy or more controlled. Just have fun!

    Hey thats cool! I found a link on You Tube, it gave a short tutorial on how to use the ruler. Isn't it something on how a piece of plastic can be used to create some of the most beautiful quilts!

    Thank You So Much!!

    Ive heard a board member claim to have made a 'template' on her own by using an 8in piece of acrylic and drawing lines..

    Hey you know I don't doubt it. I have an ex brother in law that works for a major glass company and they use a lot of Plexiglass. I've often thought of asking him to cut me some pieces and adding the measurements myself. He said he could do it for nothing because the pieces are very small compared to what they use them for. :wink:

    I saw that thread as well but decided it was worth the $10 to buy the first one. I'm going to mark my bigger square rulers to do the same. Now that's where I will save money!
