Welcome to my day during the Studio 180 Design Freedom Rings Blog Hop! This week, a couple of my fellow Certified Instructors and I are sharing some great projects made from Studio 180 Designs newest fabric collection, Freedom Rings by Island Batik for Lumin Fabrics.
The Deb Tucker Studio 180 Design team has created another
fantastic fabric collection. This collection celebrates the colors of the
United States in honor of this year's Semiquincentennial. It features a
stunning array of reds, whites, and blues, along with some of the most
beautiful golds I've seen in a while. This
collection is now arriving in your local quilt shops. If they don’t have it
yet, please ask for it.
I have created a new quilt pattern that shows the colors of
the Freedom Rings collection. Liberty Rings is a simple quilt that fuses
traditional quilt blocks with modern design elements. Let me share the fabrics,
components, and tools needed to bring this beautiful quilt to life within this
collection.
I chose six fabrics from the collection, including three
shades of blue, as well as white, red, and gold, to enhance the quilt top's
design. Additionally, I selected a bright white fabric to add brightness and
create highlights throughout the quilt.
The Star Block was created using the Studio 180 Design Wing
Clipper, which enables the construction of flying geese units in various sizes,
along with the Four Patch Square Up tool. To make this block stand out, I chose
a white background, light blue for the center star, and gold and dark blue for
the outer star and four patches, allowing the blocks to connect seamlessly.
The Lemoyne Star block utilizes white and off-white fabric
for the background. The star itself features a two-color design using light
blue and red. I really love how this block showcases the color combination.
It's easy to create with the Studio 180 Design Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star tool,
and it's trimmed with the Tucker Trimmer III to ensure a perfect block.
This simple two-block quilt pattern is available in various sizes: Lap 61” x 73”, Twin 76” x 88”, and Queen 90” x 102”, perfect for your couch or bed.
