    I would have been a nervous wreck cutting up the original top. How much did the quilt shrink from its original size?

    Your quilt is awesome!! The colors are so striking that both ways were pretty, but the twister sure takes the quilt to a new level. Great job!

    I have several sizes of the twister....they are fun...I think they shrink at least 1/3 in size if I remember correctly. I do think they are fun....when I made the bedsized one with the largest template, I did it at the local quilt shop so I could pushe the tables in the classroom toether as the top was pretty big before I cut it....the smaller sizes are fun...but kind of putzy....and I had to use the smaller sized router cutter on them.....the woman who invented the technique lived near me and I visite that little shop often...it has closed now...I miss it...

    i didn't measure it before, but it was a 7x7 block (5 inch squares) with a three inch black border (don't forget the 1/4 inch seam when you are calculating LOL)

    finished it was 23x23

    Great colors. You did a fantastic job. I've had the template for longer than I care to say and maybe one day I'll even use it. If I make a quilt 1/2 as good as yours, I'll consider it a success.
