Studio 180 Design Classes

What a happy explosion of color in the Block of the Month! It's a great skill-builder, where you will begin with one tool, then add 3 more tools throughout the 8-month program. If you are new to our tools, this is a great way to learn some of the basics. This quilt looks like it was set on point but it isn't - everything is assembled square. All this in a quilt that looks complex, but is easy to put together.

Each month we'll get together and work on a different technique using the Star 60 tool. Quilters can either work towards making a full quilt or turn each month's block exploration into a quilt on its own. There are a total of 17 sizes that can be made with this tool, but we'll work with a 4" unit option.

The Star 60 tool from Studio 180 Design can make some fantastic units.  This class is part of the Star 60 Block Exploration (a monthly block exploration), but you are welcome to join us (space permitting).

In this session, we'll learn to use the tool to make the basic unit and work with 4" diamonds.  Students will complete a 6 pointed star while learning 

• the principle behind the Star 60 tools of cutting oversize and trimming to precision

• how to piece with accurate 1/4" seams,  

• pressing tips and tricks for completely flat seams

• trim units to precision

• sew the star points together without any lumps or bumps!

Tuesday, November 21; 1-4pm or 6-9pm
