Inklingo Cheat Sheet

Inklingo is compatible with ANY pattern that uses the same shapes and sizes.

It is especially easy to use Inkingo with a pre-Inklingo pattern if all of the information is collected in one place, so Monkey prepared a “cheat sheet,” which you can refer to at the cutting mat and save in your Inklingo binder. (Cheat Sheet is defined in Wikipedia.)

Monkey's Inklingo Cheat Sheet

Monkey’s recommendations

use a pencil, not a pen, to jot down all the info you have
include shapes that are not printed
include a little sketch, if you have one
remember to note P or L (portrait or landscape) with the size
include the reference number from Jinny Beyer’s Quilter’s Album of Patchwork Patterns or Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Blocks, if you have it
use abbreviations (s for scrap, etc)
save it to use again or to share with friends

button PDF  Example

Tilde in Denmark used to post a new block every Friday on the Inklingo Sampler blog, to show how easy it is to use Inklingo for a wide variety of pre-Inklingo designs. We used two of Tilde’s sampler blocks in the example (above), so you can see how we use it. You can print as many fresh, blank copies as you like from the PDF.

Inklingo Cheat Sheet

Monkey decided that we needed an Inklingo Cheat Sheet, so now we have one.  (Monkey rules.)

Monkey’s Cheat Sheet

According to Wikipedia, a cheat sheet is a concise set of notes used for quick reference.  It is especially easy to use Inklingo with a pre-Inklingo pattern if all of the information is collected in one place for easy reference. Aha! We could use a cheat sheet, starting with the Inklingo Sampler blog. Smart Monkey.

Tilde Binger has been posting a new block every Friday on the Inklingo Sampler blog, which shows how easy it is to use Inklingo for a wide variety of pre-Inklingo designs.

Monkey's Inklingo Cheat Sheet

Sample Cheat Sheet

We used two of Tilde’s sampler blocks in the example.  The Cheat Sheet works as a handy reference beside your cutting mat.  When you have made the blocks, you can save it in your Inklingo binder, or share it with Inklingo friends.

You can download the example (PDF) and blank Cheat Sheets from inklingo.com  Monkey’s recommends it, and has some tips for filling it out on the website.

We hope you like it, but the Inklingo Cheat Sheet can be revised, so let us know if you have suggestions for us, okay?

  1. I always though Monkey was the spoiled one! We are! Thanks for a very useful tool. Very similar to what I used for my Starry GMFG.
