Colonial Garden - Main Shapes
Colonial Garden (Beyer 411-10) is an old design, published in the Aunt Martha Series in 1963. It is easier to sew with Inklingo than with any other method and the fussy cutting possibilities are irresistible!
Colonial Garden - Bonus Shapes
This Inklingo PDF includes the kite, octagon, and square, plus bonus shapes for Colonial Garden and other designs.
See the Main Octagon Page for other sizes.
Why 1.32 inch?
This shape collection was requested by quilters who wanted more shapes to fit with the diamonds, triangles, and squares in the free shape collection to make beautiful, unusual designs.
Compare this Kite with the one in for Periwinkle Octagon.
For Colonial Garden, the 1.32 inch side is the short side of the Kite.
For Periwinkle, the 1.32 inch side is the long side of the Kite.

A Choice of Methods
I sew these shapes by machine unless I need a portable project. With Inklingo lines printed on the fabric, you can sew some seams by hand and some by machine.
Love the lines. Quilt more!
Many quilters choose hexagons for a portable project. Octagons are refreshingly different but allow you to use the same sewing techniques for stunning designs.
With Inklingo you can print hundreds of shapes quickly and sew from crosshair to crosshair with a running stitch or by machine. The fine, precise lines printed on the fabric simplify the cutting and sewing.
