Squiggles, Dots and Lines Blog Hop from If These Threads Could Talk

Deb Tucker is introducing her newest fabric collection from Island Batik – Squiggles and Dots. I decided to make a small quilt using Deb Tucker’s “Curved Log Cabin Technique Sheet“.

A Curved Log Cabin Block is really an optical illusion. The block is made up of one center square with a series of narrow and wide logs sewn around the center square. It sounds easy, but if you’ve ever tried to make them, you know that it is tough to get them to come out the way you want them – nice and square. Studio 180 Design’s technique has ...

The Tree Skirt That Wanted to be a Quilt – OBW #106 from If These Threads Could Talk

December is so busy, I haven’t had a chance to do much sewing. Last Summer I decided to take Deb Tucker’s pattern Snow Crystal and put it in the middle of a One Block Wonder (OBW). Snow Crystal is made with the Star 60 Tool.

The fabric is Flower Festival by Benartex. The flowers are about 7″ across. I bought it back in 2022. The background is a dark plum color.

When I started to assemble the quilt when I discovered a problem. I had 3″ too much in the length of the hexie rows that were being ...

Merry Christmas to All – OBW #105 from If These Threads Could Talk

I don’t know about you, but in our house Christmas decorating begins after dinner on Thanksgiving! My house is full of Santa’s & Christmas trees.

I love Santa’s. I had this panel for over a year, but got a chance to work on it before Thanksgiving.

This panel is called “Merry Christmas to All” by Marshall Dry Goods. The inside of the panel measured 29.5″ x 37″. I cut 3.25″ strip for 5″ finished hexies.

The odd width of 29.5″ left me with a 1″ wide red strip I would have to hide later.

I ...

“Creepin It Real” – OBW #104 from If These Threads Could Talk

A great One Block Wonder begins with great fabric! Be sure to ask your favorite quilt shop to carry this collection, “Creepin It Real” ships in March 2024.

This fabulous panel “Creepin It Real” was provided to me by QT Fabrics. The panel measures 37″ x 43″. I did not include the frames in my finished quilt. The inside of the panel measured 32″ x 39″.

“Creepin It Real” has such vibrant colors. I cut 3.75″ strips which yielded 6″ finished hexies.

This collage shows some of my design process ending with the hexies stitched into rows. I added ...

Abra-Cat-Dabra – OBW # 103 from If These Threads Could Talk

I fell in love with this panel from QT Fabrics as soon as I saw it! The colors are so rich!

The panel by Gina Jane for QT Fabrics, measures 36″ x 42″ including the frames. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. The 6 panels yielded 165 hexies.

This block was created by fellow Certified Instructor, Sonny Dewitt. He is so creative. He used Deb Tuckers Geese on the Edge Technique Sheet and Wing Clipper Tool to make the Geese on the Edge units & then trim the square units using the Star 60 Tool to ...

Star 60 Solar System from If These Threads Could Talk

I love my Star 60 tool from Studio 180 Design. I’m teaching a Hollow Cube workshop at the end of September at Tiger Lily Quilt Company and in October for the Thread Bears Guild in Oneida, NY. I wanted to create a quilt that would showcase all that the Star 60 tool can create.

I had this quilt, but it didn’t include the Star 60 Log Cabin or Power Strip.

I call this the Star 60 Solar System, it measures 76″ x 76″. In the center is the Star 60 Log Cabin. Starting at the top left and ...

Alaska – Tuckerized from If These Threads Could Talk

I have just finished a birthday quilt for my sister Mary. I made her Alaska by Edyta Sitar. This pattern uses templates to make the blocks. I “Tuckerized” the pattern by using Studio 180 Design’s Wedge Star tool instead.

Alaska is made using 5 Wedge block variations, 5 Mixed block variations & 3 Wedge Star Variations.

A total of 13 different blocks all cut out with Deb Tucker’s Wedge Star Tool.

Tuckerized Alaska measures 71″ x 71″. Fabrics used were Marcus Fabrics by Pam Buda, Plumberry II. Made with love for my sister Mary.

On the Way to the Turtle Boudoir – OBW #102 from If These Threads Could Talk

I fell in love with the colors in this panel by Carol Cavalaris and QT Fabrics.

I did not want to include the panel borders in my One Block Wonder (OBW), so I measured the inside as 30.75″ x 36.75″. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. As there was little design in corners, I aligned around the turtles and plants in 12 different places. I cut my strips on the shorter 30″ side as opposed to the length of the panel. I had 165 hexies to design with.

I started designing on the ...

Wings of Joy, Emerging from the Cocoon – OBW #101 from If These Threads Could Talk

You can probably tell, I’m a huge fan of Josephine Wall panels. I feel so lucky to have found this one.

The name of the panel is Wings of Joy. I added “Emerging from the Cocoon” because I think the design suggests she is emerging with great joy. The panel measures 35″ by 43″.

I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. With 5″ finished hexies I would fit 8 across the top and bottom of the panel. I will to trim the panel to fit the top and bottom sections. I had to give her ...

Rising Star from If These Threads Could Talk

I love Deb Tucker’s Star 60 ruler! It can be used to cut out equilateral triangles for a One Block Wonder (OBW), and has 8 accompaning technique sheets for stars and cubes that can be added to a OBW or any quilt.

This quilt shows the Checkerboard 60, Caped 60, Quad 60, Framed 60, Striped 60 , Star 60 & Hollow Cube 60 techniques.

This star was made using the Star 60 Log Cabin technique Sheet.

The star above was made using the Power Strip Technique Sheet.

Studio 180 Design Block Exploration February Challenge from If These Threads Could Talk

Every month participating Studio 180 Design Certified instructors reimagine a BlockBuster block. February was BlockBuster #8.

When I looked at the block I thought it needed a different center. I wanted there to be a glow around the star.

Blue V Blocks.

I made 1″ V Blocks for the center of my BlockBuster #8, 9.5″ finished block. See what my fellow CI’s are up to:

17 Years of Leftover Hexies – OBW #100 from If These Threads Could Talk

Crazed quilter makes 100 of the same quilt, sort of! I made my first One Block Wonder (OBW) in April 2006. One evening looking through my Hancocks of Paucah catalog I saw an ad for a book called “One Block Wonders, One Fabric, One Shape, One of a Kind Quilts” by Maxine Rosenthal. Little did I know that in 2017 two of my OBW’s would actually be in Maxine’s book “One Block Wonders of the World!

I was intrigued and ordered the book. I was so excited and had so much fun making my first OBW. I was ...
