These are 4" sub-units created in two sessions of Tucker University at my
LQS. I absolutely love
Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design tools (they're not rulers, they're not made for measuring). I have quite a collection of them, having acquired them over the years. These sub-units are the result of using the Tucker Trimmer and the V-Block Trimmer. Here you see stacks of Half Square Triangle blocks, Shaded 4-patch blocks, Combination blocks, Quarter Square Triangle blocks, V blocks, Sidekick blocks and Hi-low blocks. They are all precisely trimmed to 4.5"and will finish to 4"; they can all be combined with each other interchangeably to create innumerable combinations for larger block layouts as shown below. Tomorrow I will attend the third session of Tucker University where we will use the Wing Clipper tool to make Flying Geese sub-units and variations, these will soon be added to the mix; I can't wait! Yesterday afternoon I played with the stacks shown to imagine just a few of the pretty 12" blocks that might be in my future; as you can see, missing in all of them is a center square-- I am dreaming up all kinds of exciting possibilities there! How much fun are you having in your sewing room these days?
Life is Good!

Interesting class! I am content building string and broken dishes blocks this week. The colors and their interactions make me happy.
Now that is just super fun!!!
That sounds like a challenging class! Love the blocks. Your tools sound great and if they work, all the better. Have a great day!

What fun you are having! There are some really unique designs you can make with those units.
I have the wing clipper, and love it!. I know I have another of her tools, but off the top of my head I can't recall which one. :)
I am working on the Sasquatch quilt in my spare moments.
Wonderful tools—love her V block tool which I bought last year at Road to California. You blocks are pretty!
Very nice blocks. I have her rapid fire Lemoyne Star ruler, but have not yet tried it. Thanks for posting the tutorial on the letter Christmas ornaments. I think I am going a different route using beads letters which I ordered from Amazon before I saw you used scrabble tiles. Yours are definitely my inspiration and I will let you know how they turn out.
wow....fun indeed!
