Studio 180 Design Block Exploration February Challenge from If These Threads Could Talk

Every month participating Studio 180 Design Certified instructors reimagine a BlockBuster block. February was BlockBuster #8.

When I looked at the block I thought it needed a different center. I wanted there to be a glow around the star.

Blue V Blocks.

I made 1″ V Blocks for the center of my BlockBuster #8, 9.5″ finished block. See what my fellow CI’s are up to:

The Quilt that Screamed to be Tuckerized from If These Threads Could Talk

I was looking through my quilt books and saw this quilt that just screamed to be Tuckerized. What does that mean you ask? To Tuckerize a block/quilt is to identify the units that make up the block/quilt and apply Studio 180 Design techniques to the construction, to streamline and make the process more efficient without losing the points, and to have the ability to make it in many sizes. For instance, Deb Tucker’s V Block can be made in 11 sizes.

This is the Bethlehem Star. It can be easily Tuckerized using the V Block tool by ...

I’m sitting here in Tuckerville, watching TV, looking at my ceiling. I pin orphan blocks on my drop ceiling.

Two of a Kind

These two blocks are made from the same fabric and units. They both have a Square Squared for the block center, 4 V Block units for the star points and 4 Shaded Four Patch Units (with the Tucker Trimmer I) in the block corners.
