This book is all you need to make a replica of Lucy Boston's Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC).
You will probably also want 1 inch 90° Hexagons, so you can print the shapes on fabric instead of tracing from the book.
"Tried to do Patchwork of the Crosses the traditional way but as I have arthritis in my fingers I found sewing with the templates too hard. Looked on your website, purchased Inklingo and a new printer and am enjoying sewing by hand again. I just love the ease of use and have told all my friends to give it a try." - Carolyn in NSW Australia

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). There are several articles on the blog too, like No Waste Fussy Cutting.
