Waste not, want not

The one thing with the twister ruler is there is a bit of waste.  The pieces are strange shaped little critters.  But, the pieces between the blocks are still big enough to do something with.  They can be pieced for a border or for the back of the quilt.  For my little quilt I went with the border option.
The pieces were large enough to cut 2 inch squares of each.  There are not enough to go all the way around the quilt, however.  So this is the result.  The top is officially finished.

Great way to use the leftovers. Love the border, it really finishes off the quilt.

I love your twister quilt. The border really adds a lot to it, too.

Very cute! I saved all the little squares too, but didn't think about using them in the border. Clever idea! Have a happy day!
