Hexagon Baby-quilt

Emily has made this wonderful baby-quilt, using the xxx size shapes from Inklingo Collection # 3

She has used some of the Hexagon block patterns found on the Inklingo Sampler blog and made this little beauty with inspiration from the Candied Hexagon-quilt which several Inklingoists are doing

Size of project is approximately 36" square

Seven Friends

Simone from Australia has finished this little beauty.
It is made with the 0.5" diamond collection and is all of 10.5 x 13.5"
Cute, cute, cute.

Cube

Sandy is making cubes using the 2.25" diamonds from Collection #3.

She writes: "I would not try this without Inklingo- these shapes would NEVER go together so accurately for me! I love Inklingo!!"

Two colour Lone Star

Ellen also made this two-colour Lone Star with the free collection.

Size of finished project : 75" square

Sally Post Floral Medallion

Ellen made this wonderful quilt, using the Inklingo Free Collection for the centre Broken Star medallion, and the corner LeMoyne stars.

The applique is from Sentimental Stitches, the Sally Post Floral Sampler

Finished size of project is 81" square.

Tumbling Blocks / Baby Blocks

Sue has fallen for the new 3" diamond-shapes (Inklingo Lite # 7) and has started a Tumbling Blocks project.

She writes :

These were sewn on the machine and went together so easily. The tumbler blocks are not sewn to each other as I will continue to add many more. Really like the way they look.

Hexagon Sampler

Linda D. has been busy making lots of tops for demonstrating Inklingo at a quilt-show.

This is her hexagon sampler, where she has used the hexagon bonus-blocks from the Inklingo Sampler-blog, and Inklingo KISS 101 for the setting.



Size of project 45.5" square.

Candied Hexagons

Tammi has started her dream-project. It's an elderly pattern from a now sold-out magazine, and it's called "Candied Hexagons".

She is using Collection # 3 to make the individual hexagons, and each hexagon finish at 3"


... oh, and you can find patterns for the two types of stars found here, on the Inklingo Sampler blog.

Tiny Tote exchange

Jillian - who organized the Tiny Tote swap - also swapped herself. And here's the tote she sent to her lucky recipient.

Blocks (her own design) are made with Collection # 3


(and at least one of them will appear as a hexagon bonus-block on the Inklingo sampler later this year)

Jane Austen patchwork

Martha's Jane Austen project is growing.
She writes :

Jane Austen Patchwork update. It's taking over the wall.

You can see the tiny diamonds on the right side. I would not take odds on my finishing those!

... oh well, you can't have everything, and it sure looks good even without the small diamonds.

Another Tiny Tote

Another Tiny Tote from the exchange over at the Yahoo group. This one is from Penny to Rae Ann

Beautiful, if you ask me, and the cutest dragon-fly button (smaller picture on the right.)

Remember, the pattern for this one is a free download at the Inklingo-page, and you can make it, using the free Inklingo collection.

Not with these stars, however, to make those, you need to purchase Collection 3

Chawton Cottage wall-hanging

Wendy made her own Chawton Cottage wall-hanging, using Tilde's pattern.

She writes :

I have quilted little diamonds around the edge and into the border, and used little pink and taupe beads to 'button' the quilt.

I love it and it will hang in my bedroom.

Size approximately 19 x 22"

Boxed Stars

Tilde made this top, using the 2.25" diamonds from Collection # 3.

She writes :
I adapted the pattern from Jinny Beyer's "Quiltmaking by Hand", and used a lot of different fabrics, most of them quite boring on their own.

I love the way this pattern plays with the stars and boxes, and how you can see very different patterns when you shift your focus slightly. (It might be more visible, if you click on the picture and get a closer look)

The finished size of the top is 96" square.

Pink Tumbling blocks

Wendy made this small Tumbling Block quilt. She writes :

Made with 1" diamonds and half elongated hexes, from collection # 1.

I made it with fabrics I had dyed in shades of pink.

The pattern is based on Ami's sisters quilt a free download on the Inklingo web-page.

Size of project : approximately 10 x 9"

Symbols quilt

Kathy made this wonderful quilt using Collection # 1. She writes :
I used the 2" hexagon, half hexagon and Diamonds from Inklingo Collection # 1. The quilt before borders is about 83" square and with my borders it will be 101".

Round Hexagon bag

Elly made this great little bag. She writes :
The pattern was from the book "21 terrific patchwork bags" by Susan Briscoe. I made it using Inklingo shape collection 1, using the 1" hexagon + halves and diamond. It turned out slightly bigger than the pattern in the book since the hexes in that are 7/8" size... but that was okay since it gave a bigger bag :) It was quite easy to adjust.

The finished size of my bag is 8.5" in diameter. I used a suitable sized plate to make the circle background.. (bear in mind you need 1/2" seam allowance all round) and appliqued the Inklingo panels to it. The pattern says to hand quilt but I was in a hurry so machine quilted (it will be stronger for it too).

Seven Sisters and paper dolls

This little beauty is made by Teresa. She writes :

I was inspired by the Inklingo Yahoo Group, I actually have seven sisters and we played with paper dolls as children, so I was also inspired by the border fabric

Size 13" X 14"
Inklingo Shape Collection # 1
1" diamonds set in seven sisters pattern.

Rhombic Hexecontahedron

Yes, that is what this is. A soft sculpture made by Jillian
She writes :

Months ago when Sue (and other Inklingoists) were making Puzzle Balls, I was fascinated. I did websearches and found some interesting things about 'solid' geometic shapes. Sheesh, wish they woulda taught me geometry with fabric pieces, I would have understood it a whole lot more!

I love stars so I knew I'd have to make a rhombic hexecontahedron when I saw these pictures:
Except for the last example at that link, they're all made with paper-stiffened diamonds, slightly stuffed with batting, then top stitched together. The last one is a soft sculpture. That's what I made.

Note, I made this while I was sick and the stitching is terrible, so is the stuffing. I'm going to redo it, but wanted to show it anyway 'cuz it was a lot of fun!

A rhombic hexecontrahedron takes 60 diamonds, 12 sets of 5 diamonds make each star (yes you read it correctly, 5 diamonds, not 6)! As the link above explains rhombic hexecontrahedron's have diamonds that are 63 degrees, not our familiar 'quilters' 60 degree diamonds, as in Inklingo 1 & 3. They do have examples of 'quilters' rhombic hexecontrahedron's at that link. That's what I did using the 1 inch diamonds from Inklingo 1. My sculpture is about 5 inches/12cm high.

Sewing Tip: Sew the stars into two half 'bowls' of 6 stars each, then sew the halves together. I tried it other ways and had to un- and re-sew a couple of times!

Christmas quilt

Kathy made this wonderful quilt. She writes :
The Christmas Quilt is 48 x 48. I made it out of Xmas 3" noodles that we swapped in my guild. It is made from Inklingo #3 . I made the center from Linda's pattern in the book and then just started playing adding borders. I gave it to my DMIL on Mother's Day. The only fabric I bought for this quilt was the stripe for that border--every thing else was from scraps.

Blue and White Table Runner

A table runner designed and made by Cathi. It measures approximately 14 x 32 and contains 748 pieces.

Collection #3.
Shapes used: .75" diamonds, half diamonds, elongated hexagons and other half elongated hexagons
