Seven Sisters is a classic quilt block and there are many variations.
In the past, English Paper Piecing was the favorite choice for a portable project, to avoid marking the seam lines, but Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting—perfectly printed by the hundreds—changed all that.
Not only is Seven Sisters more portable, it is easier to hide the stitches, it is faster to prepare, and it is easier to stitch from crosshair to crosshair for perfect results.
A SIMPLE RUNNING STITCH - ON THE GO
A running stitch is the first hand stitch any sewer learns, and piecing by hand is simple, portable, and relaxing. You can follow the assembly directions in any book or pattern, but we recommend that you refer to THE INKLINGO HANDBOOK for instructions that will help you piece this beautiful design by hand.
Inklingo also provides each shape without seam allowances, so if you prefer English Paper Piecing for some reason, you can print the templates and cut the paper with a rotary cutter or scissors.
My first two books also have diamonds. Quilted Diamonds and Quilted Diamonds 2 are completely different from Inklingo. They are pattern books, which include hundreds of diamond-shaped blocks and classic instructions for hand piecing and appliqué.
INKLINGO is separate from Quilted Diamonds. Inklingo is a technique, not just a traditional pattern.
Experienced quilter? You will find these tiny shapes easier to cut and sew, thanks to Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting, printed on the fabric.
New to Inklingo?  GETTING STARTED
New to quilting? These diamonds are smaller than most quilting shapes, which makes them more challenging, even if you have basic sewing skills. If you are a complete novice, the instructions for hand and machine piecing in The Inklingo Handbook will get you started. Thanks to Inklingo, you can use scissors if you don’t have a rotary cutter and mat (yet).
