1 inch Diamonds 60° PDF

Description

This is called a 1-inch “Diamond” shape collection but the half and quarter diamonds are triangles, so it is more versatile than it sounds.

You can make dozens of Pieced Hexagon designs with this ONE shape collection—and many, many more if you also have the 1-inch Hexagon shape collection. (Video tab)

These Diamonds are Very Versatile!

Diamonds for Millefiori Quilts

I did not create a separate shape collection for Christmas Stars (Millefiori Quilts 1)  but the shapes are available. It only uses two popular shapes, these 1-inch Diamonds 60° and 1-inch Hexagons 60°. The templates in the book are 2.5 cm (0.98 inches) which is very slightly smaller than 1 inch.

Detailed diagrams for assembling the quilt top are in Millefiori Quilts 1.

You might already have the two shape collections you need!

The same is true for La Creme de la Creme in Millefiori Quilts 1.

You might prefer to make Christmas Stars or La Creme de la Creme with larger or smaller shapes. Any matching Inklingo 60° hexagons and 60° diamonds will work. e.g. 0.75-inch hexagons with 0.75-inch diamonds or 1.5-inch hexagons with 1.5-inch diamonds. Inklingo makes it easy.

Continuous stitching and “circling the intersection” by hand are perfect for these designs.

The brilliance of Willyne’s design is in the way she used the shapes to create interlocking designs. She teaches hand piecing with a running stitch.
It is NOT necessary to use EPP unless that is the method you prefer.

It is much easier to print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo and sew with a running stitch.

Diamonds in Pieced Hexagons

Use these shapes with any pattern. The one-inch diamond is compatible with Monkey Exercise # 1, but you should use the Suggested Custom Page sizes in the shape collection, instead of the ones in the pattern. (The original layout for diamonds on the Shape Collection # 1 CD was modified for the downloadable version.)
