Kaleidoscope Wedge Quilts

5/11/2019

 
PictureWedge Star Tool by Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design
On Facebook this week, I saw that Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design created a new tool -- the Wedge Star.  After looking at the tool and the quilts designed using the tool, I fell in love with the simplicity of how the blocks are created combined with a complex look by coloring the blocks.

To take full advantage of the Wedge Star tool, I knew I needed to recreate these blocks in Electric Quilt so I could play with a fabric collection of my choice.

In this 7 minute tutorial you will be guided through drafting the two blocks in PolyDraw, importing the Art Gallery Matchmade fabric collection (included in Stash 2019 Download 01), and creating 3 on point quilts in the quilt worktable.

As an alternative to using the tool, you could also print out foundation patterns directly from Electric Quilt.  Here are the blocks from the video.

Hi Kari,
What a great lesson, I have almost all of Deb Tuckers rulers and thanks to all of the TKQ lessons I take with you I make all of my designs using her rulers and blocks. She does Block Buster's monthly that currently consists of 36 + blocks and and I recreated each of them in EQ inhave My Favorite Block library. I ordered this ruler as well this week.
