60 Degree Quilts
I have started doing some research on 60 degree quilt patterns. Why? you may ask. Good question.
I am a Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor. The newest Studio 180 Design tool is the Star 60. I attended the Reunion last month and we worked with the new tool. Sarah showed us SO many things you can do with the tool. It is not like any other 60 degree ruler. There are some similarities, but there is so much more with the Star 60 tool. So, we made some blocks and made some projects with the tool. I LOVE IT!!!
When I got back home there were other things that needed to be done...deadlines to meet and family stuff that was going on. But, this week I have some time to play. I just want to cut lots of fabric and start sewing. But, I need a plan. So, I started looking at some quilt designs. I thought about the Seven Sisters block. I wondered if I could make it simpler with the Star 60 tool. I looked on Pinterest. I found some photos and also instructions that I could print out. Then I did a search of 60 degree quilt blocks. There are so many quilts! So many patterns! So much to think about! So much that I want to do! Where do I start? Where does it end? (Actually, I hope it doesn't end.) There are so many things you can do with this tool. I hope you will check it out.
Here are some photos of the blocks we worked on and the two projects I completed. Hope you enjoy them.
