When you buy this shape collection, I manually add the Hexagon Quilt Design Book (70 pages) as soon as I see your order, so you can download it too. The design book focuses on 60° hexagons but the sewing and pressing instructions also apply to these shapes. There is an added layer of complexity to Fiesta Gitana because the stars interlock and overlap each other.
Detailed diagrams for the rosettes and assembling the quilt top are in Willyne’s fourth book, Millefiori Quilts 4.
There are two wonderful methods of fussy cutting with Inklingo.
Even with fussy cutting, you can get a faster finish with Inklingo than with traditional methods. There are two methods of fussy cutting with Inklingo and neither uses acrylic templates. (Why I don’t sell acrylic templates.)
Love the lines. Quilt more!
Video
There are some good, short videos collected under a tab on the page for the Millefiori Quilts 1 book which show how Inklingo makes this design easier to sew.
And a little fiesta music!

Fabulously pointy stars. A design that calls out for fussy cutting. Both of which are made so easy to accomplish with Inklingo stitching lines and matching points.
This design is a delight to sew but I would not want to be making it any other way than with Inklingo printing the templates on to my fabric.
