July 2026! I've really dropped the ball this month, but I AM getting the July video published before the end of the month!
The Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star is another one of my favourite tools from Studio 180 Design. We can make blocks from 3" up to 12" square. There are a number of Technique Sheets and patterns available for a wide variety of blocks.
You can read all about the introduction and the first 6 month posts here.
I'm enjoying the process of working with the various tools and patterns. Patterns are available from your local quilt shops and also as PDF downloads directly from Studio 180 Design. Here is a pattern that uses the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star tool that gives an interesting layout.
Here is my "I saw Stars Quilt" that I made as a Handi Quilter Educator Challenge from a few years ago. We had to make a Black and White quilt with 1 other colour. I fell and broke my shoulder when I was dyeing the green fabric. I really did see stars!!!
What makes Studio 180 Design tools different
multi-sized rulers - the tools allow you to make a variety of different sized units.
each tool includes instructions for making the units. There are also free instruction downloads from the website.
left and right-handed cutting
precision - we cut over sized pieces, sew then trim to precise sizes
If I have encouraged you in anyway to try some of these techniques and tools, please share.
Here is the video.
Happy Quilting
