Description
0.5-inch Hexagons 90° (POTC) is a smaller version than the 1-inch hexagons in the Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses (optional book) which complements this download.
See the 3 Videos on the Lucy Boston page for information about using templates, fussy cutting, and hybrid piecing. The info in these three short videos applies to any design!

System Requirements – Windows or Mac with Adobe Reader (not a phone or tablet) and any ordinary color Inkjet printer or all-in-one.
Print shapes on fabric with any ordinary Inkjet printer.
POTC blocks are made with only one shape—the hexagon—and the blocks are linked with squares.
These unusual shapes are included for a straight edge on the quilt.
The bonus half hexagon makes even more variations possible.
Compare with the original size, which is available in another shape collection.

If you love miniatures, you will adore this collection. I wouldn’t even want to think about making them with any other method than Inklingo printing on the back of my fabric as it makes it so easy to be precise – and precision is oh, so important with these itty-bitty shapes.
