Block Party Block #58 - Crossed Patch from Quilting Affection

Block Party Block #58—Crossed Patch is a fun and simple quilt block that uses only two units: the Shaded Four Patch and the Four Patch. To create these units, you will need your Tucker Trimmer, the Four Patch Square Up tools, and the Shaded Four Patch Technique Sheet.

This tutorial will guide you through making the units for this block. It does not replace the tool instructions and technique sheet. I used scraps from Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design Bubbles, Curves, and Corner fabric that I have left over. I chose four different fabrics from the collection and ...

Gardening, Quilting and Painting Fun from From My Carolina Home

It’s been a busy week, with something going on every day. It hasn’t left a lot of time for sewing on my own projects, but I have made good progress on a free quilt along I’ve designed just for you coming in March for National Quilting Month – more on that below. I also took a class, painted some rocks, and made progress in the garden. Settle in for a long and chatty post as we catch up. Let’s start in the garden, shall we? The daffodils are coming up and just beginning to bloom. These white ...

Bollywood Beats from Sew Preeti Quilts

Island Batik's September Challenge and Blog Hop focuses on the Studio 180 Design tool we received in our second Ambassador box. I received the Tucker Trimmer Tool.

The Tucker Trimmer is used to trim down units that are made with triangles: half square triangle squares, quarter square triangle squares (hourglass units), and combinations of half square and quarter square triangle squares (combination units).

I also received the Honeycomb fabric collection, designed by Kathy Engle for Jackie Kunkle of Canton Village Quiltworks, shipping to shops in September.

Catching up from Sew Preeti Quilts

It has been a very busy year for me. According to Paul, all the busy-ness is self-created and self-inflicted. He is mostly correct and even if he was not, I am not going to argue with him. He is the only quilt model I have in these pandemic times. Cannot afford to irritate him.

Paul: Really, how busy have you been?
Me: So busy that I have not made a single zippered bag this year.
Paul(in mock horror): NO.
Me: Even before I finish this thing, I have the next one ready to go, with no time to play ...

Studio 180 Design Challenge Block Reveal from Quilting Affection

Over the last couple of months, several of the Studio 180 Design Certificated Instructors, including myself, have been participating in a Block Exploration Challenge.

This month's blocks challenge was to design and make a block around the Shaded Four Patch. This is a fun little Technique by Studio 180 Design.

I decided to design my block, which I'm calling Entangled Octagon, to use this technique with a little kick. I ...
