My version of a Christmastwister quilt
#48
I apoligize for not including that in my first post. I usually remember. The Christmas squares were cut 10 square, or you can use layer cakes. The border was cut at 6 wide, so just a rough guess with 7 blocks across and 9 blocks down, and a 6 inch border, it would roughly be 78 wide and 97 long, and after cutting the twister blocks and sewing together, it is 58 by 74. I may add a dark 2 inch border just to add some width and length, sort of framing it out. Hope that answers your question.

I didn't think that I could do it either, with all previous directions that I had read, but these directions had you cut out one row at a time, so you didn't get things mixed up. After doing the first row, I realized that I could do 2 rows, and keep things straight. And now, I know that I am going to do at least one more of them. It was actually very quick and easy, once I got all the blocks cut. It would be easy with layer cakes, but I don't have access to them, and have lots of fabric to use up. So, PLEASE, anyone who has hesitated, go buy that 8 inch one, and give it a whirl. Not sure if I would do the smaller ones, now that I have done the bigger one. It does go fast, and is fun.
