The above picture is my testing the Lil Twister pattern without having to actually buy a special ruler. I simply taped my 6" square ruler and went from there:
I have managed to get a few more quilts to the finished stage. I had 2 quilts that just needed their labels and binding - done! I had a couple quilts needing quilting and finishing - done! I still have 3 quilt tops needing quilting and I have 2 more tops enroute to me! Then I signed up for a couple swaps. One is a Fabric postcard swap and another is a miniture quilt swap. I've never made a miniture quilt so I'm thinking this will be fun. I want to actually do a quilt in miniture. Instead of the 12" quilt squares - I'm thinking 6" quilt squares. I've also considered doing 4" - but we'll see how that goes! I have quite a few of the triangle pieces that I've cut from Snowball blocks or Flying Geese blocks that I will play with and see what I come up with!
Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day weekend. Please take time to remember those who gave so much to insure our freedoms.

I have been thinking about doing that as well for the twister quilt. I don't see the need to buy the ruler either....what size squares did you start with? 10"? I do love the way that quilt looks and is esp nice with just the right fabrics to show each other off.
so why didn't I think of that! I was actually considering buying one of those rulers, but didn't like the cost. Glad I came across your blog!
