PROJECTS
Starflower Surprise
Starflower Surprise combines the Starflower Block and the Beacon Star Block. The Starflower blocks are made with multiple sets of two-tone bright colored fabrics, grouping like colorways of Dark and Light fabrics to create the Starpoints. However, you could make all the flowers in the same set of two-tone fabrics or go completely scrappy! The Beacon Star is a combination of the Diamond Starpoints and Large Wedges. The Large Wedges should be made with a Light fabric, creating a circular shadow effect in the background. Starflower Surprise comes together easily with the Studio 180 Design’s Wedge Star™ and Tucker Trimmer III™ tools.
Hunter’s Sky
The “Hunter’s Sky” quilt pattern combines 2 favorite blocks, the Hunters Star Block and the Nine Patch Block. When the blocks come together they form a double set of eight pointed stars with diamonds or triangles. All information is included to make the following sizes – Wall/Baby 41″ X 41″, Lap 63″ X 63″. Large Throw 63″ X 81″, Queen 103″ X 107″. This is a companion pattern for Studio 180 Designs’ Wedge Star, V Block and Tucker Trimmer III, all sold separately.
