Supplies:

– Fabric Squares (or completed tile-pattern quilt)

– Twister template

– Rotary cutter

Directions:

1. Using the pattern that is included with your Lil Twister tool, cut 5 inch squares (or use Precut Charm Square Packs of 5-inch squares).

2. Arrange squares in rows alternating dark and light colors for contrast. Six squares in a row, four rows.

3. Sew squares together in each row using 1/4 inch seams. Sew the four rows together.

4. Cut and sew a three-inch border around all four sides of the completed pieced squares.

5. Use the Twister Tool Template to cut pinwheels blocks by lining up the black lines on the tool with the seams between squares. Starting from the upper left and moving right across each row.

6. After each pinwheel is cut, it needs to be placed in the order that it was cut.

7. Sew the first row of pin wheel blocks together. Cut the second row of pinwheel blocks and repeat as with the first row.

8. Finish cutting and sewing the third and fourth rows.

9. Quilt and bind as desired.
