This Inklingo PDF includes the hexagon and square for Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses—POTC—plus extra shapes. The hexagon in this download is smaller than the original.

These hexagons are sometimes called honeycombs.

POTC blocks are made with only one shape—the hexagon—and the blocks are linked with squares.

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).

The bonus half hexagon makes even more variations possible.

Features of this Shape Collection (PDF)

• shapes to print on fabric
• diagrams showing how much fabric you need
• notes about fussy cutting with Inklingo
• design notes that will inspire you
• worksheets
• shapes without seam allowances to print on paper or freezer paper (just in case you want templates)

& More

• use a rotary cutter or scissors
• extra shapes
• optional scissors layouts to save fabric
• precision corners and matching marks to make the sewing easier
• ideal for fussy cutting
• shapes fit on small scraps
• choice of methods—running stitch or English Paper Piecing
• an impressive, unusual, intriguing design
• complimentary 70-page design book with worksheets and everything you need to design and sew a hexagon quilt (written for 60° shapes, but applies to any hexagons)

Unusual partial hexagons (which are not half hexagons) are perfect for a straight edge.

Book-on-paper

Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses is a companion book with a detailed pattern for POTC with instructions for sewing by machine, by hand, or by English Paper Piecing. (The download includes lots of shapes, but not a pattern or sewing instructions.)

A CHOICE OF SIZES

The shapes are smaller than the shapes in the original by Lucy Boston. There is another Inklingo download with the original size hexagons with 1 inch sides (more shapes). See the size comparison in the free PDF (below).

PLEASE NOTE

I do NOT recommend English Paper Piecing for POTC. 
The brilliance of Lucy Boston was in the way she used the designs in the fabric, not her sewing method. 

It is much easier to print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo (TWO methods of fussy cutting) and sew with a running stitch. Quilters tell me they can start and finish 3 or 4 POTC blocks with Inklingo in the time it would take to make ONE with EPP.

On the other hand, there are 8 Good Ways to Use Inklingo for EPP if that is the method you love.

Love the lines. Quilt more!
