oklahoma twister

Oklahoma Twister is a based upon a 6x6 grid but is in fact easy to put together in quadrants so we are going to include it in the four patch family.

The centre is a pinwheel with "wings" in the outer edges.  All the main colour pieces are HST's with a lot of background colour in the block making it ideal for using up scraps whether you go traditional and have the pinwheel in a single colour and the wings in another (see Carol Thelen below) or you choose to go completely scrappy (see My Sewing Room below)


This page is from Patchwork Square and includes a sample block layout.


 This video is from Carol Thelen and uses Accuquilt



Beth from My Sewing Room also gave this quilt a try using triangles on a roll for her HST's


Generations Quilt Patterns has a chart with seven different sizes here (from 6 to 18 inches)

Pamela Quilts.com used it in a Road Trip Quilt Along here

Generations Quilt Patterns had a second go with three colours rather then 2 and added a layout here
