You all know how I love rulers, I knew I just had to have these. And you know how I have been wanting to make something scrappy? I think this is the perfect first step for me to take in my scrappiness journey.
So how about joining me? All you need is a layercake and 1 1/4 yard of fabric for a border and the big ruler or a charm pack and 1/2 yard of fabric for a border and the lil twister ruler. I ordered mine from The Fat Quarter Shop and with how fast they ship you would have the ruler in no time at all.
Here's the link for the ruler http://www.fatquartershop.com/store/stores_app/Browse_dept_items.asp?T=1&Store_id=499&page_id=17
This Quilt Along will start on Feb 12th and will run for 4 weeks.
So how about it, are you ready to do the twist?
I will be joining you, I have a few charm and layer cakes that are just hanging around, so I ordered the rulers. I like scrappy and it should be fun.
ReplyDeleteI'll join you. I already have the tool but I have never used it. I'll find a layer cake and border fabric and I'll be ready to go.
ReplyDeleteI've made several of these twister quilts and they are fun! Great choice for a scrappy quilt too. I may do the quilt along if I don't already have too many things going for February.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was on vacation I saw one of these that finished at 2" - I am kicking myself for not buying it! I have both these rulers but have only used the small one so far.
ReplyDeleteI have these rulers! I don't have a Layer Cake. But, I have plenty of fabric though. I'll try to join in on the quilt along. It all depends upon my circumstances (we just put an offer on a house). It should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm up for it. I have some charm packs and I've made 2 little twister quilts so far. I just LOVE this tool.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the Little Twister and would love to join. Not sure I can since I am going away for a 5-day workshop right in the middle of that.
ReplyDeleteI have one started, but I will QAL to finish the monster!
ReplyDeletei have a little twister and charm pack ... enough for a baby quilt? have a new greatgranbaby due in june!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun. I bought I think a twisty ruler will have to find it.

I bought a Little Twister a few weeks ago, but haven't used it yet. I would love to join in.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have so much fun and get hooked on making them! I even have the itty bitty one!
ReplyDeleteI have both of these rulers and haven't tried them out yet. I'll be following along! I'm going to check on the tiny ruler, too!
ReplyDeleteFinished my first twister quilt. Pleased for the most part, but be sure your contrasting fabrics don't have too many colors in common. Some of my pinwheels are harder to see.
ReplyDeleteLove the tool!
I'm just now starting another Twister,you mean i have to wait?
ReplyDeleteOr can i start now?
No you don't have to wait :) I'll start a Flickr page for the QAL. If you want to send me a pic of your twister quilt I'd love to blog it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate (now that I have time!)- but can't justify the cost of a new ruler right now... So I will admire from afar! Enjoy! I cant wait to see what y'all come up with! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to play along. I have the Lil Twister and the charm packs already, just have never gotten started.
ReplyDeleteI've had the Lil' Twister for ages and haven't even taken it out of the wrapping! So, this is the perfect opportunity for me to get busy and use it!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get my fabric today. I already have the ruler and have been dying to try it. Thanks for getting me motivated to finally do this!!
ReplyDeleteThe Twister Bug bit me last week and I started one!! Of course I couldn't make a small one, and I did more squares, so now I'm hoping that I haven't bit off more than I can chew:-D I'm making it with the smaller tool, and I'll let you all know how many blocks I have in it later, when I count them!! thanks for sponsoring this: I've been looking for some good pics of Twister quilts and haven't found many, so this will be great!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I do so love to make Lil' Twister projects and have one that I'm in need of doing. This will be fun to do with your quilt-along. Count me in.

OH gosh Sharon. I just now found your quilt along. I bought the Lil' twister a few months ago. I only have 1 layer cake but need to check which fabric line it was. It may not work for the baby quilt I am going to make.
ReplyDeleteWill there be instructions if we use something other than a layer cake possibly? I have a fat quarter bundle that I have been thinking of using for this Granddaughter's quilt. I just hadn't decided yet on that bundle or if I wanted to use another fabric.
Thanks Sharon.
Oh my gosh...everyone at my LQS picks at me and calls me "the twister queen"...I bought both of these rulers two years ago in a "stuff your stocking" promo and they just sat around for about a year. Then I found out how easy they were to use and I can't stop making twisters. I have 3 quilts going right now and 27 twister mug rugs in the works for my garden club party. They are both easy to use but I really love the small twister the most. The large one takes so much space to work out and then re-cut. I have to go to LQS to lay them out and cut. But I have done so many small ones that I can lay them out, cut them and sew in 3 mornings before I go to work. Starts my day out right when I see them...they make me giggle. I love to try new fabric combinations. So I will be taking part and loving every minute of it. Thanks so much for doing this quilt-along.
