I worked briefly with Mary Kay Podlecki to see how well Inkscape could work to help quilters to develop color schemes, textures, and other quilt planning. Mary Kay is working on an amazing iPhone app that allows you to choose from hundreds of square types, layouts, and color schemes, and she was looking to see if Inkscape could help her to illustrate the various square options. I worked with her one day to explain how you can use grids, apply textures, dotted paths, color schemes, and make templates that you can use over and over again to develop squares. With her expertise in quilting and my knowledge of Inkscape, I think we covered a lot of ground fairly quickly, and I hope she&#8217;s on her way to using Inkscape to help her in her quilt design. She sent me a\u00a0 sample image which I was able to recreate fairly quickly in Inkscape, which is what you see here. Thanks for the opportunity to work together, Mary Kay!<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles by Zemanta<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/iheartpgh.com\/2010\/01\/21\/quilting-an-antique-form-of-blogging-quilters-weekend\/\">Quilting: An Antique form of Blogging &#8211; Quilters Weekend<\/a> (iheartpgh.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/quiltingmom3\/5-creative-ways-to-use-white-in-your-quilt-color-palette\">5 Creative Ways to Use White in Your Quilt Color Palette<\/a> (slideshare.net)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\">Make a Square for the Climate Quilt (treehugger.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this sketch.
