This shape collection was requested by Inklingoists who wanted to use fabric with larger designs for POTC-style blocks.
Click the block to see a slide show of a few of the spectacular POTC blocks made by Kathy Timmons and Joan Cumming. If you would like to see even more, please join the Inkingo Yahoo group.
The shapes to print on fabric are 150% of the original Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC). Instead of 1 inch sides, the hexagons and squares have 1.5 inch sides.
The bonus shapes of the original collection (called Inklingo Lite # 4) are not included.
Lucy Boston's spectacular patchwork was made with only one shape, but the use of fabric is very creative. VIDEO (3 minutes)
If you wish to use the shapes to make the Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses, there is a detailed pattern with instructions for sewing by machine, by hand, or by English Paper Piecing, in the companion book, available here and in quilt shops.
Inklingo makes these hexagons more fun and more portable because the shapes are printed on the fabric, and it is also possible to stitch by machine.
In the past, English Paper Piecing was the favorite choice for a portable project, to avoid marking the seam lines, but Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting—perfectly printed on the fabric by the hundreds—changed all that.
Not only is POTC more portable with Inklingo, it is easier to hide the stitches and it is faster to prepare.
Inklingo also provides each shape without seam allowances, so if you prefer English Paper Piecing for some reason, you can print the templates and cut the paper with a rotary cutter or scissors.

New to Inklingo? GETTING STARTED
New to quilting? If you are a complete novice, the instructions for hand and machine piecing in The Inklingo Handbook will get you started. Thanks to Inklingo, you can use scissors if you don’t have a rotary cutter and mat (yet).
