Monkey and I think you will love the Inklingo method of sewing this week because:
- It is very fast when you have lines to cut on and lines to sew on.
- It is very accurate, so the finished units look great.
- The stretchy bias seams are sewn before they are cut, so there is no distortion.
- It uses fabric very efficiently.
- There is straight grain in all the right places.
- It is easy to press for nesting seams, so your points are pointy.
- The one-page guide gives you confidence.
MONKEY’S RECOMMENDATIONS

NOTE Bonnie’s Shape Collection will stay at a special low price for a few weeks, so you can make your decision after you have seen a few clues and played with the FREE shape collection. This is a mystery, not a race!

WHO IS SEWING CELTIC SOLSTICE WITH INKLINGO?
Thanks to Bonnie, many quilters who would not normally be able to do the mystery are included this time.
If you print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo, you can sew Celtic Solstice even if you are not comfortable with rotary cutting. Inklingo makes it possible to get the results you want. Everyone is welcome and you can start any time.
Most quilters who have not printed on fabric with Inklingo imagine that it takes more time than it does, so this series of clues should get you excited about the possibilities, whether it is another Bonnie Hunter Quilt or Hunter’s Star or any of the other quilts in the Inklingo Smart Shopper’s Idea Book.

New to Inklingo? Order and download free shapes and start sewing in the next few minutes. Quick Start (Always FREE.) There are triangles, diamonds, and squares in the free collection—great for dozens of different blocks.
This is a fabulous technique for making the little chevron units! Even by hand, this is a wonderful way to make these. I love how this is turning out.
What a slick technique! Who would want to make this block any other way? I just love it! No triangles to cut off, no wasted fabric, two units at a time… It’s magic!!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
I am totally confused with all this, will be in touch after the holidays
to clarify some points, about printing on the printer.
All the Best for the New Year.

Hi Mabel, Inklingo is another tool which you can use to make Bonnie’s mystery. It is optional. I think this might be the info you are looking for

It explains how Inklingo works but if you have any questions, just let me know. Hugs, Linda & Monkey in Ontario
OH this will be wonderful with Inklingo~ Late start this morning so am ready to download part two and get some printing done
Thanks Linda and Monkey for such a great product…makes me such a better quilter LOL
Wanted to get up early but did not! But up and running now… Off to get the fabric and freezer paper to start on part 2. Yeah. Thanks Linda for helpful tips.
I’m excited to start Clue 2. (I’ll finish Clue 1 this morning. Clue 1 came together beautifully for me, thanks to Inklingo.)
I really love hand piecing, so machine piecing is still challenging for me. Thanks for your detailed and thorough instructions and tips.
