Castle Wall Quilt Block
Octagon • Diamonds • Inset Seams Made Easy
Castle Wall is a striking vintage quilt block built around a central octagon, with diamonds, squares, triangles, and trapezoids forming intricate “walls” around it.
It looks complex—but Inklingo makes it surprisingly approachable.
Print precise shapes directly on your fabric with stitching lines, matching marks, and crosshairs. No templates. No guessing. Everything fits.
Castle Wall is ideal for hand piecing, with inset seams that lend themselves to smooth, continuous stitching—and it works beautifully for machine piecing too.
Explore endless variations with multiple layouts, optional appliqué, and combinations with star blocks. Includes worksheets, Combo layouts, and bonus shapes for creative flexibility.
PRINT • CUT • SEW
When you start with perfect shapes, cutting and sewing are more satisfying.
It is perfect for modern quilters who need a portable project. I like it so much, I decided on 3 sizes!
Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting make it easier, faster, and more precise than with traditional templates.
