How hard is it to use the DD?

I think it was Jean that said she would make a bigger size? I'm looking at my templates.. Dresden, pyramid, ect and don't know if I'm in love with this because of the skill level.

Lorie, I have the 10", 5", and the 2.5". I've used the 5 and 2.5, but not the 10 as of yet. I liked the 5 quite well, so I think I will also like using the 10. Especially, since my step mother made 2 quilts using that one and I've found it to be quite pretty.

As for the skill level. If you follow the rather simple instructions/diagram, I think you would do quite well.

I have the 10" and 5" and have used both. Not all that difficult, awkward to cut, at least for me. I did a row at a time, pinned the blocks in order then did the next row so I could keep the order right.

Lorie, I don't know about the skill level - but I do remember Jean saying that there was waste involved.
Unless I suppose you could use the scraps for something else - that and you do have to pay close attention to construction.
Hope that helps.

I think I will keep to the easier patterns for now. I have to many ufo's. charms and JR's to keep up. lol

Okay I just watched the video. It doesn't look too hard, just more time consuming than anything. I really like the big one in the back!

I like the big quilt at the back too.

Jenny said there is waste, but you can use that with the next size down ruler and the waste from that for the next size down again.

Tha 10" gives up pieces about charm square size. The 5" gives up about 2" squares. Who knows about the tiny twister, it will give up the tiniest of scraps! I love the look, so I will make more twister patterns. It is not hard, but you need to cut and sew one row at a time unless you are a genius at putting together puzzles!

Thanks Jean. One more question, To make one like the one on the wall do you just do random fabric squares? Is it possible to do a color wave? Well that was two questions. I need to go watch the video again.

Does anyone know where to get the tiny twister? I'm googling, but I can't find it.
