SHADED FOUR PATCH

Strips and Rectangles magically transform into Triangles in this simple block. It looks challenging, but is really quite simple. 


This quilt is made using a Shaded Four Patch unit and the Tucker Trimmer I tool from Studio 180 Design. In this class, we'll learn how to use the Tucker Trimmer to trim these blocks.  This quilt is a great introduction to Studio 180 Design tools.


It's a great way to use up some scraps or even use some yardage to make a fantastic quilt.
