A new Inklingo quilter asked a great question in the Yahoo group. It is easiest to answer with pictures, so I am replying on the blog instead of in an email. (Aren’t we lucky to be online?)
Julie asked whether she could use Jelly Roll strips (2.5 inches wide) to print Inklingo one-inch hexagons. YES you can.

My dear friend Mary was the first quilter I told about Inklingo, before we even had a name for it. I promised Russ I would remember what she said, because he was interested in her reaction. Mary is very quiet and low-key, but I had barely started explaining with a couple of small samples, when Mary’s eyes widened and she blurted out. . .

The Inklingo Sampler Blog was Tilde’s idea. She set out to teach quilters how to use Inklingo for traditional blocks, so they would learn how to adapt any pattern for Inklingo. The first message was July 1st, 2009.
There is variety in the sampler blocks, and no one knows how the finished quilt will look. This is consistent with Tilde’s confidence in Intuitive Creativity.

Monkey couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Oh well. He has met Pat Sloan and loves her, so he passed the time sewing HST (half square triangles).
Pat and I had a good talk about Inklingo this afternoon. She asked some great questions, and the time just flew by.

Posted in Applique, Life in Burlington, The Inklingo Handbook, back-basting on Jan 20th, 2010
A Canadian Inklingo quilter says that “back-basting” is how she was taught to appliqué when she was young, and it was just called “appliqué,” so it seems to have been around for at least several decades.

Many quilters are familiar with “needle-turn appliqué,” or using templates for appliqué, but a recent discussion in the Inklingo Yahoo group about the new Dresden Plate Appliqué Collection made it clear that some quilters are confused by the term “back-basting.”
