First POTC block

Maryam made her very first Inklingo block.

She writes :
I just couldn't resist any longer and had to put together a POTC block of my very own !!! Actually, this is the first Inklingo thing I have stitched. Of course, as you all know who have done these blocks, it went smoothly and now I can't get it out of my head and looking forward to many more ! I did machine piece it all ... just to prove it can be done ... I enjoy a challenge ! lol
I am so excited!!! I can't wait to do more....but I have so many other projects I need to do. I will probably sneak some of these in when I can....can't help it.....it's so addictive!

Lucy Boston / POTC

Martha is (still) making small POTC blocks. She writes :

Can't see where I am headed yet but I sure am enjoying the journey.

And they look lovely.

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"

More Lucy Boston POTC (Patchwork Of The Crosses)

Charlsey has been making Patchwork of the Crosses blocks.

The blocks all look so different when you look at all the different ones being made right now. To see all the POTC posts, click here.

Minature Hexagon garden quilt

Melinda is working on this little beauty.
She writes :

Here are a couple of pictures of my miniature hexagon quilt. The hexagon's are .25 " and there are 725 hexagons in this finished quilt which is 19 3/4" x 21 3/4" according to the pattern not sure if mine is exactly that.
The pattern comes from a book titled "Quilts from Grandmother's Garden" by Jaynette Huff.

LeMoyne star quilt

Mary Anne made this pretty quilt using the free collection of 4.5" (finished) LeMoyne stars. She writes

Linda is a great friend and when she gave me the LeMoyne Star collection I was going to make a few to see if I could do it. I think she gave it to me as she figured if I could download it anyone could. (LOL) I was so pleased with myself that I actually did it all by myself. I was going to make a few, but it turned into a quilt for my Granddaughter.

It is 8 squares in both directions with 1/2 inch sashing between. 64 squares in all and I used cornerstones all from the fat quarters that I had used in the quilt. It is about 30 inches square, (my granddaughter has it and loves it so I can't say for sure). I didn't do anything very hard and it went together so easily. I love it.

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.

Lone Star top

Tilde made this Lone Star top using the 6" LeMoyne Star collection.

She writes :
I apologize for not posting a picture that is taken front up, but our house is old, and the rooms small. It is all machine pieced ! and it took 2 weeks, from the picking of fabrics to the finished top.

Size of star, from tip to tip, is 84".

Spring Star baby-quilt

Anneke made this cute baby-quilt.

She writes :
I used the free LeMoyne Star collection to make Judy Martin's Spring Star pattern. (Available on 'Judy Martin's Stars and Sets' cd by Electric Quilt.) If you make the block size 25.5" the Inklingo star pieces fit.
I pieced the star by hand and did the rest on the machine, andI foundation pieced the tulips (a first for me).

This experiment is my fourth finished top and will be my second finished quilt. Somehow my non-Inklingo projects did not get finished so far. I wonder why ;-)?

Finished size will be 33.5" by 59" or 85 by 150 cms.

Patchwork of the Crosses - Lucy Boston

Carole too is making Patchwork of the crosses blocks. It seems almost epidemic :-)

But quite understandable, when you see how good, and how very different, they all look (to see all POTC posts, click here)

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"

and even more Patchwork of the Crosses

Mary is also making blocks from the Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses collection. She likes the 24-patch version, as does Cathi.

Star Coasters

Chris made these coasters as her first Inklingo project.

She used the free collection and made a set of 4 coasters. Each coaster finishes at approximately 5"

Double Wedding Ring Table Runner

Judy made this wonderful DWR table-runner variation.


Size, approx. 22 x 42"

More POTC - Lucy Boston

Martha is among the prolific ladies who has started a frenzy of Lucy Boston's "Patchwork of the Crosses" blocks.

She is in love with the combinations that uses 16 of the 90-degree hexagons.

Pia's Tiny Tote

Pia made a Tiny Tote using the free collection and the free tote pattern.

She writes that her 13 year old daughter would like to have it, but that she is keeping it for herself.

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".

Patchwork of the Crosses - Lucy Boston

Cathi has been working with the new Patchwork of the Crosses collection (Inklingo Lite 4) and has, so far, made these six blocks.

She has been fascinated by the Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses quilt ever since seeing a picture of it in an old issue of a quilt magazine. As soon as the collection came out with the shapes for it, she started printing the shapes and stitching blocks.

Sewing kit

Erin made this great little sewing-kit from the Drunkard's Path collection. She writes :

I was inspired by a post from Karen at SewManyWays to create this travel sewing kit. Her Tuesday Tool Time tip about using an eye bolt to hang around your neck to hold bobbins or spools of thread was my inspiration for the idea. I attached a length of ribbon to the eye bolt and then added a little needle case at one end. Then I modified the idea further by adding the scissors to the other end of the ribbon. I used the Drunkard’s Path collection to create the needle case. I’ll be posting a link to the step-by-step tutorial on my blog.

Tea Tote

Erin made this really cute and useful project with the Drunkard's Path collection.
She writes :
I made the tea tote to carry my favorite tea bags with me. You could use it to carry tea and/or packets of sweetner. I used the Drunkard’s Path collection to create it.

It measures 3” x 3” when closed. I’ll be posting a link to the step-by-step tutorial on my blog.

0.25" Christmas Tree

Penny made a teeny tiny Christmas tree using Cathi's pattern
... only, she has not used the 1.25" hexagons that Cathi suggested, but rather the 0.25" hexagons from the collection of that name (yes, you read right, one quarter inch sides on the hexagons)

She writes :
It looks bigger than it actually is. It is only 4.5 x 6". Could almost have made it into a post card.

Drunkard's Path

Mary has finished her Drunkard's Path quilt.

... and it's looking wonderful, Mary.

Finger Pincushions

Joan from Australia made these cute pincushions that live on your finger while you hand-piece.






Directions on how to do them and the circle shape you need to make them, are in the 0.5" hexagon and diamond collection.

Jane Austen quilt

Marta is making the Jane Austen quilt too.


Here's her progress ... and a good view at the problems made by too little space on the design-wall :-)

The Jane Austen quilt

Karen is making the Jane Austen quilt, and it is, as you can see, a work in progress. She writes :

I added a new row to my Jane Austen. I started out hand piecing, but with these long rows, I've switched to machine.
