The Island Batik Ambassador’s June Challenge is “Try a New Technique”!  Have you tried Studio 180 Design’s new Wedge Star Tool?

The Wedge Star tool is designed to make a variety of different blocks based on 45 degree sub-units.

They range from Wedge Star Blocks, Wedge Blocks & Mixed Blocks.  There are 22 different size options ranging from 3″ to 24″ finished blocks!

Diamond units are constructed and trimmed down.

Units are stitched together in quarters and half’s, then joined into blocks with corners added to complete it.

The new Wedge Star tool is for “Intermediate Skilled” quilters.  You must use your best 1/4″ seam allowance, NO scant seams here!  As always use your best measuring, cutting, stitching & pressing skills.

Included in the Wedge Star tool instructions is a bonus Wedge Star Pattern – Freelancer.

My beautiful Freelancer quilt was made using Island Batik’s Paisley Dot Swirl fabric and Aurifil thread.

I just got home from Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor Reunion 2019.  We all worked on learning the new Wedge Star Tool.  Here are some gorgeous Freelancer Quilts.

Wowza!

Here are some of the CI’s from Class of 2013.  There were 5 classes represented this year.  It was wonderful to see everyone and make new friends.
