Four Patches, basic units that seem so simple to make. Just stitch 4 squares together, either individually or with strip piecing and you’re good to go. But anyone who has attempted these units knows that they are notoriously difficult to make perfectly.

The Four Patch Square Up© Tool is the solution. Like all the Studio 180 Design rulers and processes, this tool and technique will have you build your units slightly oversized and then quickly trim them to perfect shapes. The Four Patch Square Up© Tool is designed to work with units that finish to whole or half inch increments, from ½” finished up to 6” finished unit sizes. The tool’s perfectly engineered lines are designed to quickly locate and align with the unit center and the sewn seams, allowing for easy trimming on all four sides. The accuracy is amazing!
Your units will be the correct size. They will have seams properly positioned. And they will have edges that are straight, even, and square. No more guess work! So jump in and give it a try, you will be absolutely thrilled with the results.

Arabesque

Looking for something a little unusual? Try Arabesque! The pattern combines a very simple block with four patches in the corners to create curvy chains that snake between the staggered blocks. Nothing’s set on point, although it looks like it might be, so no setting triangles to struggle with either. Have fun watching the design come to life as you lay out the blocks and stitch together this unique quilt.

Grand Illusion

Double Dutch
$ 12.40
Double Dutch includes two versions of an adorable little wall hanging or table topper that looks far more complicated to construct than it is. The centers of the Diamond Square units have been “fussy cut” using the window template on Deb’s Square Squared tool then the units stitched oversized and trimmed to perfection. All of the Flying Geese units are made quickly and easily with her Deb’s Wing Clipper 2 tool, again pieced oversized and trimmed for precision. Make yours in the same or similar fabrics or consider using a special photo or embroidered motif in place of the flowers.
Details
- Project size: 25” x 25”
- Block size: 5” finished
- Required tools: Square Squared, Wing Clipper 2 and Tucker Trimmer 1
- Highly recommended tool: Quilter’s Magic Wand

Country Fair
$ 12.40
Country Fair is a scrap version of a traditional Carpenter’s Wheel block. This project is constructed with Flying Geese units, Diamond Square units and Four Patch units instead of the usual diamond shapes. Using Deb’s Wing Clipper I and Square Squared tools will give you perfectly shaped and sized units every time. This means you’ll have crisp seams and great points and a border that actually fits the center part of the quilt! A super scrap project that looks so much harder to make than it actually is to construct.
Details
- Project size: 72” x 92”
- Block size: 16” finished
- Required tools: Wing Clipper 1, Square Squared
- Highly recommended tool: Quilter’s Magic Wand

Pint Size Tucker Trimmer
$ 31.00
The Pint Size Tucker Trimmer combines the 12 smallest sizes from our original Tucker Trimmer I and Tucker Trimmer II into one easy to use tool giving you access to ¼”, ½”, ¾” and whole inch size units all on the same tool. Use it to quickly and accurately trim down units that are made with triangles: half square triangle squares, quarter square triangle squares (hourglass units), and combinations of half square and quarter square triangle squares (combination units). It has multiple diagonals which allow you to align ruler guide lines with unit seam lines to quickly locate the exact center of pieced units. This makes unit construction easy, precise and perfect every time.
The Pint Size Tucker Trimmer is compact, easy to read, and provides the same great results you've come to expect from all Studio 180 Design tools. It is the perfect tool for those who prefer to make quilts using smaller units!
