Forgot that I took this photo! This was taken while I attached the outer corners to the flower part of the New York Beauty.

So I finally sat down to have a play with EQ7 and some Inklingo shapes. I received a newsletter from Accuquilt (part of my initial research into better template-makers before I found Inklingo) a while ago with this quilt featured:

I saw it and thought the design was interesting and probably Inklingo-able. So I opened up EQ7 to redraw the quilt (and change the colors to something that suited me better) and while calculating all the shapes, I discovered that this is a variation on the 9″ Storm at Sea!

 

And then there was this cute pattern in another newsletter from Fat Quarter Shop:

I halved the size to see if it could be completely Inklingo-able, but there are some shapes that aren’t for sale.

 

I recoloured it and I’m calling it Rainbow Crayons.

Then I went back to the Inklingo site for the Drunkard’s Path EQ file and played with the block. I call this Colour Tabs.

 

Sewing this entirely by hand also meant hand-sewing the binding. In retrospect, sewing the binding before basting the layers would be much easier.

The same photo as the first post, but after processing via Camera+ app.

I needed a place to talk about all the sewing I try to do. I’m in the middle of a few projects, but at least the one above is complete! More on that to come!
