Description

Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses — With Inklingo!

Make your own spectacular Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC) quilt with precision and beautiful fussy cutting.

Love English Paper Piecing? You have more choices with Inklingo!

Instead of tracing around acrylic templates or preparing hundreds of paper pieces, print the cutting and stitching lines directly on fabric with an ordinary Inkjet printer.

  • Fussy cut with confidence. Preview your fabric designs and position motifs precisely. Choose traditional or No Waste Fussy Cutting.
  • Cut with scissors or a rotary cutter. Accurate printed lines make cutting simple.
  • Sew by hand or machine—or both! Enjoy the portability of hand piecing and the speed of machine piecing.
  • Skip the basting and template preparation. Sew along the printed lines with a running stitch.
  • Use your fabric efficiently. Choose from layouts designed for different straight-grain requirements, scraps, and precuts.

Prefer EPP? You can even print your own paper templates with Inklingo.

Print. Cut. Sew. No acrylic templates required.

Lucy Boston (1892-1990) used English Paper Piecing, but you can choose your own method and get better results, faster. Inklingo makes it easy for you.

An optional companion book, Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses, contains wonderful photographs of the original quilt, including a large centerfold.

“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

I hope you will join the Patchwork of the Crosses Facebook Group too.

There are many reasons for quilters to switch from acrylic templates and English Paper Piecing to Inklingo.
