It's May 2026! This month I'm working on the Fiesta pattern that is highlighted in the 2026 Calendar for May.
You can read all about the introduction and the first 4 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.
The Fiesta quilt uses 2 tools, the Split Rects tool and the Corner Pop tool. The method makes easy Half Rectangle units. The tool makes 8 units sizes from 1/2" x 1" to 4" x 8" finished units.
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
