I just finished my first twister quilt, it measures 12 1/2" x 15", each twister block finishes at 1". While I was on vacation I saw one of these made in a quilt shop. They told me there was no pattern yet and it was made with the Itty Bitty Twister template from Primitive Gatherings. They were kind of enough to let me take a photo. So with photo and template in hand I came home and gave it a try. Happy, happy, happy.

... excuse me????? 1" squares ???? that is beautiful, Fleur.

ADORABLE!!!!! oooooooooh, you're so gutsy at 1" squares!!!! love it!

Fleur...I love that wee little mini Twister,especially like the binding you used...cute...Did you take pictures so you can show us your original layout????

Uh oh! Somebody after Bozie's methods!! Fleur, that's a gorgeous little quilt.

Awesome! Tiny little squares. Looks hard to do. good job.

Love it! Great job.

fleur55 did u use the rotating mat to cut your squares? i tried it once with dancing around the table and found it awkward. thought i would try it with a small rotary cutter and the rotating mat.

I do have a photo of the original quilt, it's on my phone. I will transfer it and post it in a bit.

Mandy after sewing the 2 1/2" sqs together the piece was to large to use the rotating mat for the template cut. I used a 18mm cutter and just stretched across the piece. A little awkward but not too bad. I difinetly would not try a bigger project using the itty btty template.

Awesome!! I've gotta try this some day,

That is just nifty! My twister rulers are at home ..... too bad for me

fleur, it probably would work out okay with a mugrug size, don't u think? sewlove2quilt did a rainbow mugrug with the ittybitty. see here:

I have that pattern not mad eit yet, very cute!! I also have ALL the templets too! Have used the 10 in 5 in and 3in so far

Oh how cute - and so wee!

Well done! Where is Bozie? She is going to love that mini!

May, this is the only photo I have and I almost forgot to take one as you can see. The original squares and border were 2 1/2". The quilter who made the original quilt said her pattern was scheduled to be published in a few months.

I just love it! Great job, love the binding! cute!

I usually skip the discussions about twister quilts but somehow the "Itty Bitty" part of the title of this one caught my eye. That's a real cutie - and timely too with the fourth of July right around the corner.

Thanks Fleur...that is too cute...I adore flag quilts and twisters too..

Very nice, Fleur! If you want to see a twister flag made using 5" squares, check out the HGTV Twister photo album in my signature.

Oh, the flag, holiday tree and pumpkin are my own designs. The flag was made several years ago.

Wow!! That is really great - I haven't tried using my twister rulers yet - have two sizes - and now there's an "itty bitty" one!!?

Ooough. That is so cute. Thanks for sharing your layout photo too before you did the cutting.

Isn't it amazing how different the original looks before??!!! I love flags. That's as cute as a bug's ear.

That is awesome!!! Very cool!!

Over the past year or so - so many of us have made Twister quilts and projects that I'd love to make a whole photo folder of all of them (over at the HGTV facebook page so that people can look through all of them)

Would you mind if I included this one and of course I will credit you. thanks!

Bingo Bonnie, Of course you can post my itty bitty. I am honored you asked. Will you only be able to view the folder on facebook?
