This fabric is perfect for my Kaleidoscope Stars with the new 60° Diamond 1.25 inch.
The selvage says Belle Fleur Too by Kings Road Fabrics www.kingsroadfabrics.com
The fabric is quite blue, but when I photograph the stars, the light makes them look more yellow/turquoise.
I can’t stop sewing.
All I did was print another 6 identical sheets of 25 diamonds with 1.25 inch sides.
It is fast and easy. (Top Ten Tutes)
I use the No Waste Fussy Cutting method.
I rotary cut rows, and then cut the diamonds into sets as described in the video for Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses.
Each one only takes 10 minutes to sew from start to finish.
I sewed 5 during the 6pm news, 10 while I “watched” a movie on DVD with Russ, and the rest as little breaks at the computer.
This size is fast and easy to sew by hand. Should we call it snack quilting?
Can you believe these all came from one fabric?
I will add more to an album on the Inklingo FaceBook page.
(Monkey and I love it when you like Inklingo on Facebook and on QuiltingHub. Thank you!)
Don’t forget the article on QuiltingHub and the video showing how to get perfect intersections on every star.
INTRO PRICE
If you think you might want to make some of these too, the new diamonds are at a very special intro price—but only for a few more days!

I have always been amazed at how many different looks you can get from one piece of fabric. I am so excited that I discovered Inklingo. I was rubber stamping and this is so much easier.
Thank you.
Marvelous!! the fabric is perfect! Do you intend to make a bed quilt?
Love these stars. The fabric is absolutely gorgeous!!! Have to look for some.
