When you print the shapes on fabric, you can rotary cut several layers at a time to start sewing sooner and finish sewing faster than with any other method.
Now, you can download worksheets for Texas Star variations AND a new EQ project file.
Quilt Designs with Star Points
Star Points were requested by Inklingo quilters who want to make the blue and white Texas Star variation in the header on Cathi′s Quilt Obsession blog.
Texas Star Variations
Cathi made her Texas Star Variation in 2006 with shapes on the Inklingo #1 CD. That shape collection sold out years ago. New shape collections are all downloadable now.
To make Cathi’s design, you need a small hexagon (and both halves), a large hexagon (and half), and a star point (and half).
3 Sizes of Star Points
Small
- Inklingo Shape Collection # 3 (book & CD, requires Windows)
included 60° Hexagon 0.75 inch, 1.5 inch, and Star Point 0.75⁄1.5 inch and many other shapes (Sold out.)
Medium – 3 shape collections
Large – 3 shape collections
If you don’t have a hexagon shape collection for the large size , you can use small hexagons to make larger pieced hexagons for a lovely variation.
Worksheets to Download – Free PDFs
The worksheets include a variation using Star Points and 60° Hexagons 1 inch without the 2-inch Hexagons.

There are many more EQ Project Files to use with Inklingo (including another one for Star Points).
IMPORTANT The info on the EQ notecards is essential to get the sizes.
Please see the tips for using Inklingo shapes with EQ.

There are more notes on the blog to help you design with Star Points, including counting the shapes, and deciding how much fabric you need. Good stuff! Plus—the blog is searchable!

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to give us these wonderful EQ files. I wouldn’t have known where to start in EQ to draw these complex continuous patterns myself!
I may have signed up twice, but I really must find out what you and Monkey have been up to. Happy Mother’s Day from the US.
Thank you, Linda. I truly appreciate the EQ7 files.
I’m subscribed! I don’t want to miss any of your videos! Especially when Monkey is involved. 😉
