NEW Inklingo Diamonds 60 Degree

We are in love with Inklingo No Waste Fussy Cutting for stars and for Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses.

 

Today there is a new size—60° Diamond 1.25 inch.

(All Inklingo shapes are named with the finished size.)

 

This new shape collection is ideal with Inklingo 60° Hexagon 1.25 inch for 300 Pieced Hexagons and this size might be perfect for fussy cutting the fabric in your stash.

 

You can print on paper with Inklingo to make a window template to decide which size works best with any fabric.

 

This fabric has a little more “background” than I prefer, but I can see potential.

Too much background can make the results less interesting.

 

Each set of 6 diamonds is different and some are more exciting than others, but this works!

You can see all of the Inklingo diamond sizes on the Main Diamond Page on the website.

Each star is a surprise.

 

I fussy cut 6 identical sheets of fabric (8.5 x 10.5) to get 25 Kaleidoscope Stars with Inklingo 60° Diamonds 1.25 inch. It worked well with the repeat on this fabric.

Twenty-five stars may sound like a lot, but these are so fast that Monkey says it won’t be long before I need to print 25 more. (Inklingo No Waste Fussy Cutting)

 

DIAMONDS FOR PIECED HEXAGONS

You can get amazing designs without fussy cutting too.

All of these pieced hexagons can be made with the 4 shapes in the new 1.25 inch Inklingo Diamond shape collection. The pieced hexagons have 2.5 inch sides (finished) and are 5 inches across from point to point.

 

Download the shapes, print on fabric, and let your imagination soar!

PERFECT INTERSECTIONS?

There is a new article on QuiltingHub showing how I get perfect intersections on stars. You don’t have to register to read the article, but if you do, you can rate the article AND the Inklingo page on QuiltingHub. Monkey is longing for a few 5 star ratings!

QuiltingHub has a new look and new features, so we think you will want to register and visit over and over again.

INTRO PRICE

As usual, the new shapes are at a very special intro price—but for a few days only!
