Size of quilt is 36 * 45"
Round Hexagon bag

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).

Going quietly dotty

It is amazing to me to see how much difference an appliqueed circle makes to the graphic impression of the DP-block. I used the 1.5" circle that comes with both the 0.5" hexagon and the 0.5" diamond collection.
Size of each placemat is approximately 12 * 18"

Jane Austen coaster
Tilde made this little coaster using shapes from the Jane Austen collection.
She writes :
You can make other things than "just" a big quilt with this collection.
Size of one side is just shy of 3", and it is big enough for a nice mug of tea.
Please note the wildlife fabric. I couldn't resist using the romantic colours and then zebra stripes and alligator leather :-)
She shares the pattern with the Inklingo group at Yahoo.

Hybrid-pieced star

Stayed up past my bedtime and finished this block from the six inch Inklingo collection. It finishes at 12 inches and is machine and hand pieced.
I machine pieced the center until I came to the light green pieces in the outer ring of diamonds and then I found it easier to do the y-seams by hand.

Triangles wall-hanging
She writes :
This quilt is made with Collection 2 using 2" HST. I added a 3" border. The squares are set 8 X 9 so the finished size is 22" X 24". I made it for a raffle prize for a function at our quilt guild.
It was easy to put together, thanks to Inklingo, but hard to give away. I must make another for myself.

An Inklingo Dog
It was made with the 1 inch squares from the swap that we did awhile ago. (on the Inklingo-list on Yahoo)
The inspiration for this came from the Scrap Quilts issue from McCalls. Theirs was much larger.
He is coloured squares on both sides but the neutrals form the gusset to make him 3D. Very cute and made in about 3 hours mostly on the machine.
Octagon Star
The octagon star finishes at 12". Shapes used are the diamonds, small squares and 2.5" QST's contained in that collection.

Circle of Swallows



Sandy made this great block. She writes :
I used the free collection to make this "Circle of swallows" block, it is 11" unfinished.
Below is a picture of the component parts before joining.

Round Dance
She writes :
I used the corner unit from the Apple Core collection, for the individual bits. The downside of this is, that you get twice as many as you need, because you can only use one corner for the block. The upside is, that you can make two mirror-image blocks at the same time.
Size of block : 10" square

Linda made this pretty crib-quilt. Here's what she writes :
I used Shape Collection 2 for the pinwheels. The free LeMoyne Star for the corners and other methods for the rest, though I think all the other piecing could have been done with Shape Collection 2, I just hadn't purchased it yet.
Size is 41" square.

Grandmother's Starry Flower Garden

She writes: "The hexagon quilt was hand pieced using Inklingo collection #3 - 3/4" hexagons. There are over 2,900 hexagons forming an 8-pointed star. It is a replica of an 1860 quilt. I made the quilt using a 2-1/2 x 3 picture from an antique quilting book. It will have an applique border like the original."

A hexagon hexagon quilt top

Shapes used are the 1" hexagon and equilateral triangle found in Collection 1.
New rounds are added periodically as I find new colours that work. Continuous stitching as a new round is added makes this very enjoyable and quick to put together.

Christmas table-topper
She writes :
I LOVE the new projects blog! What a GREAT idea! I used Collection #2 for the 2 3/4" half-square triangles in this scrappy table topper for Christmas. Stitched the whole thing in our motorhome using my featherweight machine! A good way to combine the old and the new, eh?
Completed top is 42" square
I designed the quilt myself - with a log cabin barn raising setting. And I love it on my new table!

We have a button for the blog.
You can see it here, on this post.
BUT it is also right there, out in the margin of the blog.
If you want to show this button / logo on YOUR blog, and instantly link to this one, all you have to do, is look at the button in the margin, lift the html-code under the picture there, and publish it
... and if you're a bit iffy about how, then Split Decisionz has some very simple and easy to follow directions ... and some neat, free, general buttons too .

Insanity quilt in progress

Deanna is making this quilt (and there's another picture of the complete quilt here). She writes :
This quilt is called "Insanity" (probably for good reason because there are 10,339 hexagons in it). I got it from the Australian Patchwork and Quilting, Vol 16 no 6.
It is designed by Rhonda Pearce and won 1st price at the NSW quilters guild in 2007.
I am using the 1/2" hexagons from Inklingo Collection .50" hexagons, rather than doing it with English Paper Piecing.
