Corner Pop Christmas Quilt Design
Those of you that regularly read my blog posts, know that I like drawing blocks that are "folded corner" friendly. These are units that can be added by placing a square piece of fabric on a block (or segment of a block and sewing from diagonal to diagonal to add a piece with a 45 degree corner). Think of this as one of the methods to add those while corners to the flying geese units above.
Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design has a tool called Corner Pop that more efficiently adds these types of folded corners. But she also has tools that expand on the concept. |
|
Corner Pop 2 will allow you to add popped corners with a 2:1 ratio. What that means is that Corner Pop 2 will make pops that are twice as tall as they are wide
Corner Pop 3 will allow you to add popped corners with a 3:1 ratio. Both of these units will give you a nice spiky effect.
|
In addition to designing the Corner Pop 2 friendly block, learn how to use Shrink and Fit for a new block and Serendipity to play with block rotation in the Quilt Worktable.
If you are not into using the specialty rulers, these designs would also be very conducive to foundation paper piecing.
Share your ideas in the Learning EQ8 Facebook group. I've set up a post for you pictures and ideas.
