Beaded Lace Quilt
Instruction - Debbie Thomas, Certified Studio 180 Design Instructor Combining Corner Beam Units with Uneven Chain Units creates the illusion of a quilt made on point. Adding an accent fabric and a properly placed dark fabric helps to create a wonderful beaded effect on this quilt. This is a great project to use some of your fat quarters for the lap and queen size quilts. Make it scrappy or make it “planned scrappy”; either way the effect will be dazzling. Three project sizes: Lap (63” x 63”), Queen (83” x 83”), and King (104” x 104”) |

Birds on a Wire Quilt
Instruction - Debbie Thomas, Certified Studio 180 Design Instructor Birds on a Wire is a fabulous Stash or Scrap Buster quilt! You can use mixed scraps, Fat Quarters, Fat Eighths, etc. for the Assorted Bright Fabrics. The Background can be a mix of fabrics, as well, or yardage. It is important to have a high contrast between the Background and the Bright fabric to give this quilt energy! In addition to Background and Bright Fabric, an Accent Background is required to create the fabulous wire. Neutrals are a great choice for the Accent; it needs to be in contrast to the Background fabric. However, it can be just a few shades away to create a shadow. Birds on a Wire comes together easily with the Studio 180 Design’s Wing Clipper I™ and Tucker Trimmer I™ tools. Finished Quilt Sizes: Baby 38” x 38”, Wall 50” x 50”, Lap 50” x 62”Throw 62”x74”, Large Throw 74” x 74” |
