Everything is easier with Inklingo—no measuring, no templates, no worries about straight grain, a line to cut on, a line to sew on—and there are detailed instructions for sewing and pressing on the All About Inklingo blog, so jump in! It’s fun!
The shapes are larger than the ones in the free Inklingo Shape Collection, but the ideas and worksheets in that downloadable shape collection are perfect for this too.

This is a fabulous size of the 45-degree diamond/related shapes! The fussy cutting possibilities are fantastic and this will play oh, so nicely with so many other 9″ blocks. The half diamond is a lovely extra that just adds to the design possibilities and takes everything up a notch!
