Cathi of Quilt Obsession has done it again. She is making Fiesta Gitana with Inklingo
FIESTA GITANA WITH INKLINGO
Her Fiesta Gitana is spectacular.
She gave me permission to show you what happens when you have a perfect fabric for Inklingo “No Waste Fussy Cutting.”
Cathi printed identical sheets of fabric to get sets of 6 identical shapes, and the results are flawless.
She has truly caught the spirit of the Fiesta, inspired by Willyne Hammerstein.
Perfection!

Cathi gets perfect intersections for her stars with a method we call “circling the intersection.”

Be still my heart! What a Fiesta!
FUSSY CUTTING VIDEO
This video uses Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses as an example but it is the same for any design.
Printing the shapes on fabric with Inklingo Fiesta Gitana makes the preparation go fast.
By the way, Fiesta was published on January 25th. Inklingo made it possible for Cathi to fussy cut and sew MANY Fiesta Gitana rosettes in a short time. You can do it too.
You can also print on freezer paper for traditional “Swiss cheese” fussy cutting, of course.
I have been writing about No Waste Fussy Cutting for years! UPDATE I included very detailed instructions for two methods of fussy cutting in the new hardcover book, Winding Ways – Quilting the Inklingo Way. All of the info about fussy cutting, hand and machine piecing, and fabric requirements in my new book is useful for ANY pieced design. I recommend it to everyone, so I hope you will have a look.
It is all part of Inklingo’s mission to make quilting more accessible—simpler, less expensive, easier to finish what you start.

Linda & Monkey
Oh my gosh! I really need to kow the name of the fabric Cathy used for Fiesta Gitana!
I want to wrap a few yards around myself and take a delicious nap. LOL
Sounds like a plan. I’d join you!
Wow! Beautiful! I need to complete a few more (?dozen?) projects before I start yet another!
Oh, dear. Monkey and I don’t like that rule. Are you sure, Debbie?
Hello Linda,
Well Cathy did a superb job with the fabric choices. Congratulations Cathy, these are my favorite colors.
Have a great day.
Thank you for leaving a comment, Louise. I will make sure Cathi sees them!
Wow, over the top as usual!
