Designing for Corner Pop 2

If you have been thinking that 2020 is your year for mastering Electric Quilt 8, now is the time to subscribe to the TKQ Wait List.  There just may be an opportunity to lock in at 2019 prices before the end of the year.  But you must be on the wait list to hear more.

Corner Pop

Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design announced the release of a couple of new tools.  If you like using Corner Pop as a replacement for the the folded corner technique, you will love how you can expand on the concept with these new offerings.

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. ​

These corners don't need to be restricted to simple squares and rectangles.  I wanted to explore what would happen when I added them to a pieced block.

See how to do this in my EQ8 video tutorial. 

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.

Here are some quilt ideas using the block from the video.

 In the last option, you can see how you can carry the block design into the border as well.  Make sure to use Tile Square border for blocks that are square.  Otherwise, they may not be Corner Pop 2 friendly.
