Yeah,
I saw some one's twister a couple weeks ago, and was so impressed by it, yet too cheap to buy the actual ruler... I went into my sewing room, took a 6" square ruler, put 2 pieces of scotch tape across the back in an 'x' pattern aprox 1 inch from the end, then drew a line with a permanent marker, VIOLA'! 6 inch Twister ruler.. What an ingenious pattern!

Yippee I did it. I made a small 10" little quilt. I used 3 1/2" squares, and made my template from a 2 1/2" template plastic. Here's the pic. I'm so proud of myself for firgurint it out. I just used scraps, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with it. But I just thought it was so cute.

I went to a web site and found a picture of it, and I'm sorry I don't remember which site. Then I just ran off a copy of the picture and made my own. Google lil twister ruler. I made mine smaller just because I wanted to, but I can make it larger too.
