Vintage Modern Baby Quilt

Ruth made this lovely baby quilt using the Inklingo 1.5" 60-degree diamonds and the 3" 60-degree hexagons.

She writes:

"This is my Vintage Modern Baby quilt made with inspiration from the Emma's Butterfly Stars pattern, but made with larger shapes and no embroidery! I used the 1.5 inch 60-degree diamond and the 3 inch 60-degree hexagon.
The finished quilt size is about 50 x 60. It's named after the Moda fabric line used in the blocks. It's for a very special new baby in the family. I stitched her name all around in the blue sashing.
Love the line of fabric and, of course, love Inklingo!"

Case of the Secret Garden

Barbara made this elegant Case of the Secret Garden quilt top using the Inklingo New York Wheel collection.

She writes:

"This project has traveled with me to a retreat, a vacation in the Grand Canyon, a visit to Las Vegas and a cruise through Caribbean. My COTSG sewing bag was easy to grab when heading out the door for Bee day or a stitch day with friends. I can honestly say I will miss it!

COTSG actually turned into a labor of love. I had all the blocks up on the design wall and really took my time putting them together so I could stretch out the project and enjoy it as long as possible!"

The Case of the Secret Garden was the first ever Inklingo mystery quilt. The clues for the mystery are available on the All About Inklingo blog post "The Case of the Secret Garden Clue 8."

Kaleidoscope Stars

Frummie is making these fabulous kaleidoscope stars using the Inklingo 2" 60-degree diamond collection.

The special effects are so easy to accomplish with a little fussy cutting/printing as shown on the All About Inklingo blog post on no-waste fussy cutting.

Kaleidoscope Stars

 Jeannette in Australia is making some stunning kaleidoscope stars using this fabric and the Inklingo 2" 60-degree diamond collection.


She writes:

"I'm sending pictures of the stars I've made so far and also one of the fabric I've used. I'm using the 60-degree 2" diamond collection and hand piecing them. They are very addictive. I went for softer colours this time and I am loving the different effects with the feathers and the flowers."

Now have fun looking at these gorgeous stars - all from that piece of fabric! No wonder kaleidoscope stars are impossible to resist!

Brown and Pink LeMoyne Stars

Beth in Arkansas made this pretty little quilt using the Inklingo Diamond, Triangle, Square free shape collection.

She writes:

"This is my first Inklingo project ready for quilting. It is hard to see in the picture, but the border is a brown and black stripe. It was made with the free shape collection. I am definitely hooked and have already cut out a bunch of pieces for a Patchwork of the Crosses!"

Kaleidoscope Stars Table Topper

Silmara in Brazil has made this gorgeous table topper using the Inklingo 3" 60-degree diamond collection.

She writes:

"The kaleidoscope stars were done with a single fabric. I got the idea to make my table topper centrepiece quilt from the quilt made by Jeannette I saw on the All About Inklingo blog. I made some changes and all the parts I used were from the 3" 60-degree Inklingo diamond collection."

And now for a few close-ups of the stars.

Each one so different.

Yet all from the same piece of fabric!

Diamond Stars

Sarah has made this pretty top using Inklingo Collection 3.


She writes:

"It is based on the Sapphires in a Field of Gold pattern in the Shape Collection #3 book, but I was feeling lazy (and was in a hurry) and didn't want to print as many shapes as the original design was made with.  So I modified it to use just 3 shapes and one colour per shape. The tiny outside triangles are just trimmed down from the diamonds that I had already printed. All of the shapes were printed from Shape Collection #3."

Jeannette made this fabulous pieced hexagon quilt using Inklingo Collection 3, the Inklingo 3" 60-degree Diamond Collection and the Inklingo 300 Pieced Hexagons Design Book.

She writes:

"This is a picture of my 6" hexies quilt from the 300 Hexies book. I used the 1.5" and .75" pieces from Collection 3 with the triangles from the 3" Diamond Collection. The quilt measures 51" x 67". I'm very pleased with it. I have wanted to make one like this for a long time. I am unsure how to quilt it at the moment so I am open to suggestions."

Congratulations, Jeannette. It's a beauty! This is such a fabulous example of some of the great pieced hexagons one can make using Inklingo collections.

A Wedding Quilt

Judy M. made this beautiful wedding quilt using Inklingo Collection 2.

She writes:

"I used Inklingo Collection 2 for my nephew's wedding quilt. The dark HRT's were solid dark brown so a bit hard to see the printing on, but once I had them printed and cut out, the quilt went together much easier than expected. I did most of the sewing from the turquoise side. I always add the 'new' monogram in a trapunto-ed feathered heart for my wedding quilts. The design is Tennessee Waltz from Judy Martin (which I changed slightly to 'finish' around the edges) as the couple lives in Tennessee. When I remembered all the words to the song, I almost didn't use the design!  LOL"

Judy M. made this quilt called "Somewhere Out There" using the Inklingo Free Diamond, Triangle Square Collection, the Inklingo Dresden Plate Fancy Pieced Collection and the Inklingo Tumbler Collection.

She writes:

"Attached is a photo of one of two matching quilts that I made for two DGS's (cousins). The original quilt was called 'Somewhere Out There' and was projected to be published in installments in the e-zine Cotton Spice. Only the first installment was published before the e-zine went out of business. I was entranced with the design so worked it up in EQ (and found in the process that the original one was probably designed in EQ also as all the blocks used had the same name as blocks in EQ).

After I finished the Snail's Trail blocks, I started on the 'star' blocks using templates for the LeMoyne Star. After a false start, I decided to use Inklingo to make the block and then decided to make all the star blocks using various patterns of Inklingo."

 "This is the jpg of the EQ file with the original star blocks. You can see that I changed all the stars. Some were from the original LeMoyne Star (free set), two were from the Dresden Plate Fancy Pieced and one is Cathi's Tumbler Star. The other major difference is the fabric border rather than the pieced border in the EQ version. I found a fabric with what looked like a map of the constellations and, since both boys were under 10 years old, felt as if the pieced border would not be necessary."

Judy's version of this quilt is a beauty! And a great illustration of how easy it is to amend patterns so that you can use Inklingo collections. Let's hope that soon the pattern designers start including Inklingo directions in their patterns!

The Tumbler Star pattern is free to download at the Inklingo website.

The Case of The Secret Garden

Kathy in Nashville made this beautiful quilt top using the Inklingo New York Wheel collection.

She writes:

"This is my Inklingo COTSG mystery quilt. Hand pieced and still needs to be quilted."

The very first Inklingo mystery quilt was called The Case of the Secret Garden. The clues for the mystery quilt are available on the All About Inklingo blog.

Log Cabin Baby Quilt for a Girl

Kathy in Nashville has made this pretty little quilt for a baby using the Inklingo .50" Log Cabin collection.

She writes:

"These 2 photos are of the girl baby quilt made with the .50" log cabin. I used scraps from my owl quilts. Hand pieced and machine quilted."

What a great back - with more owl fabrics.

Japanese X/+ Blocks

Kathy in Nashville has been busy making Japanese X/spool blocks using the Inklingo Japanese X or Spool collection.

She writes:

"These are the 7.5" Japanese X/Spool blocks. I have probably twice this amount made now. These are just up on my design wall. Hand pieced out of lots of charm squares and layer cakes. Fun to make!"

Such fun to look at!

Sunflower Quilt

Kathy in Nashville made this spectacular sunflower quilt using the Inklingo 6" Sunflower collection, 12" Sunflower collection, the 6" LeMoyne Star collection and shapes from the Inklingo CD #1, CD #2 and CD #3 collections.

She writes:

"This is my sunflower quilt. My original design. It is totally hand pieced. I used the 6" and 12" Sunflower, the 6" LeMoyne Star and shapes from the three Inklingo CD collections. I added other patches of 'odd' sizes and a little appliqué. It is a big quilt and I don't have a better place to photograph it. It still needs to be quilted."

Take a look at the LeMoyne Stars and the effects Kathy got with some fussy cutting. Absolutely stunning!

Log Cabin Baby Quilt for a Boy

Kathy in Nashville made this baby quilt using the Inklingo .50" Log Cabin collection.

She writes:

"These 2 photos are of a boy baby quilt made with the .50" log cabin.  I used scraps from my owl quilts.  Hand pieced and machine quilted."

Not only is the front full of great fabrics - so is the back!

Blue and White Feathered Star

Mary made this stunning blue and white Feathered Star using the Inklingo 15" Feathered Star collection.

What a wonderful, classic quilt!

Walled Garden

Cathi made this quilt top, which she's calling A Walled Garden, using the Inklingo New York Wheel collection.

The first ever Inklingo mystery quilt, The Case of the Secret Garden, was great fun. Because I wanted to try to keep up with the clues, I hybrid pieced this one - the straight seams I did by machine, while the curved piecing I did by hand. And it came out perfectly. Having the stitching lines and matching points makes it oh, so easy to machine and hand piece!

The clues for the mystery quilt are available on the All About Inklingo blog.

Joseph's Coat

Cathy in Tennessee made this beautiful quilt using the Inklingo Joseph's Coat collection.

She writes:

"I finished it! My queen size Joseph's Coat has been quilted and even those scalloped edges have been bound. The entire quilt was pieced by hand using Inklingo. I couldn't have made this quilt without it. Inklingo made it easy peasy."

Kaleidoscope Stars

 Frummie is making kaleidoscope stars using the Inklingo 2" 60-degree diamond collection.

The special effects are so easy to accomplish with a little fussy cutting/printing as shown on the All About Inklingo blog post on no-waste fussy cutting.

Look at this second beauty Frummie made!

Case of the Secret Garden

Mary made this beautiful quilt using the New York Wheel Inklingo collection.

The Case of the Secret Garden was the first Inklingo mystery quilt. The mystery quilt clues are available on the All About Inklingo blog.

Bold Stripes

Mary has made another colourful masterpiece using the Quarter Square Triangles Inklingo collection.

She used the 3" QSTs to make the hourglass blocks in this gorgeous quilt.

LeMoyne Table Topper

Patti has made this pretty LeMoyne Table Topper using the Inklingo Free Diamond, Triangle, Square collection and the pattern from Erin Klein which is available free to members of the Inklingo Yahoo group.


She writes:

"This is the piece I submitted for the guild challenge. I even told them they could enter if it wasn't finished. I didn't want to bind mine as I wanted to find more of the same fabric from Fabricland that I had used to make it. Unfortunately, it is discontinued and I have haunted numerous Fabriclands in Ontario to check out their clearance shelves. I couldn't find the one I wanted but did find enough of a slightly different colourway that I may over-dye to do the rest of a suitable top..."

Hexagon Star Quilt

Patti is making this wonderful hexagon star quilt using the Inklingo .50" 60-degree hexagons and the elongated 60-degree hexagon from Inklingo Collection 1, a collection on CD which is sold out.

She writes:

"Time has come to add my elongated hexagon border to my quilt top. The star is made up of 1/2 inch hexagons. The piece of fabric that I used for all the hexagons came from one piece of fabric that started out green on the one selvedge and went to yellow on the other in the same order as the elongated hex border is done. I had purchased the fabric after I issued a challenge at guild to make something that would be quilted using only two pieces of fabric, a background, the white on white fabric and the print was the focus fabric!

My fabric went AWOL and time was closing in on the challenge deadline so I bought a similar fabric in a different colourway and made a table topper instead. When we were packing to move across town the AWOL fabric showed up again so I decided I had better print off what I needed before it escaped again. Since it wasn't going to make it to the challenge, I decided to applique the star onto the black background and add a suitable border."

Do you want to see the project Patti made with the fabric in a different colourway? Look for the "LeMoyne Table Topper" post.

On Target

Mary has made this spectacular quilt which she has named "On Target" using the Farmer's Delight setting in the Dresden Fancy Pieced Inklingo collection.

Just look at the gorgeous use of colour in this one!

Canadian Starburst

Cathi made this red and white quilt using the 20" Feathered Star and the 6" Sunflower Inklingo collections.

After seeing so many pictures online of the gorgeous red and white quilts that were on display in New York a few years ago, I was determined to make a red and white quilt. Once the Feathered Star and Sunflower collections were released, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. Hand pieced and yet to be quilted. I named it Canadian Starburst as our Canadian flag is red and white.
