Tucker University and Studio 180 Design invite you to become part of Quilts Across America!
Quilts Across America is a program that relies on the generosity of quilters everywhere to provide a quilt with each bed that is delivered by Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Quilters can partner together or sew on their own to make and donate quilts throughout the year. Each year the month of July is designated as the Quilts Across America month. Quilts Across America was initiated by Studio 180 Design and Tucker University in July 2023. Help make this the largest quilting event in America and complete the process of getting kids, “Off the floor, Into a Bed, and Under a Quilt. Find a Sleep in Heavenly Peace chapter near you.

Triangulum is a great pattern for using 4 1/2" and 5" squares. It requires the use of the Studio 180 Design V-block tool. You will love the V-block tool because you will be able to get nice strong points on each unit.
You can still get the 2024 pattern, Hocus Pocus as seen below.
