Some of you have asked me "how" I go from this layer cake flimsy:
(with the addition of a 6" border)
...to this:
I use this Twister Template:
As you begin to sew your rows together and put them on your design wall (or floor) you'll begin to see your pinwheels emerge:
I hope this little step by step tutorial helped answer some of your "how do ya make it" questions. It's fun and easy, with instant gratification. I plan to have it all put together for another Friday Finish...so do stop by again.
With smiles!

The twist is a fun quilt to make. Very easy. If you want a 6 bladed pinwheel check out my pattern Spinning Pinwheels. All you need to make is one triangle block that only has two pieces in the block.
ReplyDeleteI love making twister quilts-yours is gonna be so cuddly and warm!
ReplyDeleteThe twister is fun - the larger size is a LOT easier to cut out than the mini template.
ReplyDeleteI have made a few small Twisters. They are fun to make and look so complicated, yet they are easy.
ReplyDeleteI loved using the twister but I will admit it was only a mug rug! Your is great. Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Thanks for the tutorial.

ReplyDeleteGreat tute! What a fun time! Looking forward to seeing your finish, Val.
