Hop. This week, five Studio 180 Design Certified Instructors will share
beautiful and creative projects they have made with Deb Tucker's Studio
180 Design's newest collection, "Squiggles, Dots, and Lines," with Island Batik. The
blog hop will include small projects that feature one of Studio 180's design
tools and techniques.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Let me start by introducing myself to all the newcomers
to my blog. My name is Tina Dillard; I'm a Certified Instructor, author, and
designer under <a href="https://quiltingaffection.com/" target="_blank">Quilting Affection Designs</a>. My two partners in crime in the image above are my sewing buddies, Anna and Lucy. I'm so happy you are here, and
I can show you my project. Additionally, I have an announcement later in this blog.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ-3fnbgwdc9IlZhQZip17yysCDa2QhEWW_kf5wJARronDILEoHiuPIXGAEd6dL6kFNvE_15UjdoWyizq0yp-auFB3TY-A177UrP8zbbvyRrmbQmL0uoZ22IC06bSqCOsKii2SGKWxpKziDu7Va9Ceeh2kWDo-kALTUevuZwd5WsDBcBT5P7XA8D2YF5o/s1800/Squiggles,%20Dots%20and%20Lines%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ-3fnbgwdc9IlZhQZip17yysCDa2QhEWW_kf5wJARronDILEoHiuPIXGAEd6dL6kFNvE_15UjdoWyizq0yp-auFB3TY-A177UrP8zbbvyRrmbQmL0uoZ22IC06bSqCOsKii2SGKWxpKziDu7Va9Ceeh2kWDo-kALTUevuZwd5WsDBcBT5P7XA8D2YF5o/w400-h400/Squiggles,%20Dots%20and%20Lines%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am very excited to be part of this blog hop again because I
love this newest collection, <a href="https://islandbatik.com/product-category/fall-23/squiggles-dots-and-lines/" target="_blank">Squiggle, Dots, and Lines</a>. The fabric collection is one of my new favorites because it features
bold and bright colors, including various greens, blues, and purples.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just days before being asked to participate in this blog hop,
I was playing with a new design for a table topper that uses the <a href="https://deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/collections/star-60" target="_blank">Star 60 Tool and Techniques</a>. When Studio 180 Design asked for volunteers for this Blog Hop, I knew
I wanted to make this design to test it out with these fabrics. This
was not the first time I had played with the <a href="https://islandbatik.com/product-category/fall-23/squiggles-dots-and-lines/" target="_blank">Squiggle, Dots, and Lines</a> fabric
collection since I designed a pattern around this collection; more
about that later in this blog. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7u0csYlIKNfatSuZeL1mUDXkapaX9Nb7Q9XaaeDu15IZXDC14L_vCFW0q8gkTHigFp9aa-LRsgkE0DHFjEb8U1PkdO-pcyDuhJTxgb1Vkti55IrOYNSQG_HRn1QlgIDaK1kWFbo7PQCN-612J9NmjPk8zfoWn7tNdDJ6eACeh9ojAk_Hhf_SVq7aXL6A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2776" data-original-width="4032" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7u0csYlIKNfatSuZeL1mUDXkapaX9Nb7Q9XaaeDu15IZXDC14L_vCFW0q8gkTHigFp9aa-LRsgkE0DHFjEb8U1PkdO-pcyDuhJTxgb1Vkti55IrOYNSQG_HRn1QlgIDaK1kWFbo7PQCN-612J9NmjPk8zfoWn7tNdDJ6eACeh9ojAk_Hhf_SVq7aXL6A=w400-h275" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">I used the fabrics I had left from that
project: four different values of blues, two greens, and one purple. For the white
background, I used an Island Batik neutral called <a href="https://islandbatik.com/product/glaze/" target="_blank">Glaze</a>.</span></div></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuiwTtcYH1ZHezlYtw2omXInVkGupPfNIo0IIPVGYz4HvO5vY6LcKB52fEeaHJ5uf-bZVl0-uVt3EBfox6xqmXkmWq_PoZScu8nguuKEV-gNayLfBB9KLgk7_CE3gen2WPoQSp7V0aSv6AzoV5ezuCvMNvyqEWgGCUICeYjVu5t7FiJllIpkMbS4Zczk/s2919/radiant%20with%20out%20quilting.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2607" data-original-width="2919" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuiwTtcYH1ZHezlYtw2omXInVkGupPfNIo0IIPVGYz4HvO5vY6LcKB52fEeaHJ5uf-bZVl0-uVt3EBfox6xqmXkmWq_PoZScu8nguuKEV-gNayLfBB9KLgk7_CE3gen2WPoQSp7V0aSv6AzoV5ezuCvMNvyqEWgGCUICeYjVu5t7FiJllIpkMbS4Zczk/w400-h358/radiant%20with%20out%20quilting.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal">The small hexagon project, which I called Radiant Light
Table Topper, features the <a href="https://deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/collections/star-60" target="_blank">Star 60</a> and <a href="https://deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/collections/star-60/products/capped-60-technique-sheet" target="_blank">Capped 60 units</a>, measuring about 23"
inches. However, I'm using the Capped 60 units differently in this project. I'm
not using them as regular units; I made them as side triangles for the Star 60
units instead of the regular solid piece side triangles. This adds some
interest to the block, and depending on how you place your fabric colors, it
adds some separation between blocks. I want to highlight the center of the table topper and the six partial
hexagon blocks on the outer edges.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMTCsWfXVIFs6g7nYENuvFvcza9uCfgOrFJ2bC8Yn7xO2GGhwkrKpFUutLGmyjRKAInwLeuRJ7uKqzN3n8WXkVs-_nI-hWbu56Z7bUfXaaNELpWF7e3LMpXiaEwiioziOmr6a-LaseSUHhOJSu_O2jXx4Xl17cUkXR-f4ZWvkWbfvOGyn1KG1mKimq4o/s3060/IMG_1546.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3060" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMTCsWfXVIFs6g7nYENuvFvcza9uCfgOrFJ2bC8Yn7xO2GGhwkrKpFUutLGmyjRKAInwLeuRJ7uKqzN3n8WXkVs-_nI-hWbu56Z7bUfXaaNELpWF7e3LMpXiaEwiioziOmr6a-LaseSUHhOJSu_O2jXx4Xl17cUkXR-f4ZWvkWbfvOGyn1KG1mKimq4o/s320/IMG_1546.JPG" width="316" /></a></div></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I worked on the fabric placement in the project, I knew I
wanted to use dark purple and a variety of blues as the borders. The center diamond flowers were created using two different greens:
the lighter color in the center of the project and then the darker green on the
outer edges. The white and light blue background added highlights and outer
borders for the hexagon project.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsAU04d2CcshDp3L-r-aHcdSb5sP2jVQhUF54cIKqvb_UyA0ZOAu9OQRwD4TVS3YofjSLqrb5u8E46ElOdd6qE94Y4qYDLs24xtW7R0V67yg7wRTh0Q_FH0Ay95aZsMPYUyuRYWAdaMLhrpJqYOjFGorjfdvrWCUSgPbTYr6nyNvSdzRxrC3N_nUgwr_0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2715" data-original-width="2849" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsAU04d2CcshDp3L-r-aHcdSb5sP2jVQhUF54cIKqvb_UyA0ZOAu9OQRwD4TVS3YofjSLqrb5u8E46ElOdd6qE94Y4qYDLs24xtW7R0V67yg7wRTh0Q_FH0Ay95aZsMPYUyuRYWAdaMLhrpJqYOjFGorjfdvrWCUSgPbTYr6nyNvSdzRxrC3N_nUgwr_0=w400-h381" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I finished the quilt using some straight-line quilting on my sewing machine. Which shows off the shape of the project.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now that this project is complete, I love how it turned out.
I have a good feeling that it will become a pattern later this year. What
do you think? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

time using the <a href="https://islandbatik.com/product-category/fall-23/squiggles-dots-and-lines/" target="_blank">Squiggle, Dots, and Line Fabric Collection</a>. In early 2023, the
Studio180 Design team and other designers asked me to create a pattern for
this new collection. Today, after lots of hard work behind the scenes, I would like
to announce I'm releasing this new pattern called "Midnight Snowflake."</div></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">This pattern allows you to enjoy the beauty of <a href="https://bit.ly/midnight-snowflake" target="_blank">"Midnight

tools to create secondary blocks.

collection designed by Deb for Island Batik. The collection features colors
such as oranges, reds, teals, blues, and purples. The first time I saw these
fabrics, I was smitten with the colors. I even designed a quilt for the Island
Batik catalog. Later in this post, I'll
show you more about this new pattern. First, let me introduce you to my

unfamiliar with the Blockbusters, they're a set of free blocks where you can practice
your quilting skills with the marvelous tools from Studio 180 Design. They are available on the <a href="https://deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/pages/free-downloads" target="_blank">Studio 180 Design website on the free downloads page</a>.
