Print shapes on fabric with any ordinary Inkjet printer.
This Inklingo PDF includes the hexagon and square for Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses—POTC—plus several extra shapes.
POTC blocks are made with only one shape—the hexagon—and the blocks are linked with squares.
The shapes are the same size as the original by Lucy Boston. There is also a larger size (note below).
The magic of Lucy Boston's design is in the creative use of fabric, especially "fussy cutting." A few shapes in each block are fussy cut and you can fussy cut with Inklingo (video).
These unusual shapes are included for a straight edge on the quilt (below).
Squares and Quarter Square Triangles (QST) are an added bonus.
Half Square Triangles (HST) and the two halves of the main hexagon—wow—even more design choices! (Below)
These hexagons are sometimes called honeycombs.

Jutta in Austria used this Inklingo Shape Collection to make her spectacular Aunt Clara Quilt top. It uses the same shapes, but it looks completely different from the Patchwork of the Crosses. Don't you love Jutta's dazzling use of color?
