This is a fabulous block for showcasing your favorite fabrics with fussy cutting. “Patchwork of the Crosses” designed by Lucy Boston is a pattern constructed with elongated hexagons (honeycombs) and squares. Lucy was a children’s book author and a prolific patchworker through the 1940’s and 50’s. The Lucy Boston Quilt has become synonymous with the Patchwork of the Crosses design, even though Lucy produced many patchwork pieces using other designs. This class is designed for all skill levels. We will cover fabric selection, fussy cutting, glue basting, and flat back stitching. We’ll spend a good amount of time exploring fussy cutting using Tina’s EPP invention: The Wonder Window! The handout will include several options for setting these fun blocks. My quilt is called Little Lucy because I used only 9 blocks to make a wall hanging. You are welcome to make more and go bigger.
