Quilt Square - Inkscape

These are so easy to make I hope you'll try it.


I started making them when we were on vacation in Hawaii last fall.  There are images of quilt squares all over the place; on walls, in sidewalks and on every gee-gaw in the tourist stores.  I took a lot of pictures of them and have been converting them to .svg files.


This one is from scratch using the star tool on the Inkscape tool menu.


A year or so ago I did a written tutorial on how you can make a triangle using the star tool and then embellished that tutorial with instruction for making these other shapes.


See the How to Make a Triangle tutorial HERE is you want to give it a try.


Not adventuresome today?  Here is the link for the svg download. I hope you know that you can change the colors of all the pieces and just print out the design if you are not inclined to use a digital cutter to cut out the pieces.  I do that sometimes.

This file will for sure cut in SCAL2 and most probably with MTC.

Thank you, Sue. I run out of time to play pretty regularly. I have given myself permission to laugh more. Maybe I should add play more, too!

A nice fresh looking design. I bet these are fun to create. I am another one who creates files and prints instead of cutting too.
