Lucy Boston Sew Along Week 2

Lucy Boston, Patchwork of the crosses quilt layout

Let's start sewing the center unit honeycombs together!

Please remember that it is super OK if your stitches show! It's really just a natural process of English Paper Piecing since we're handsewing these shapes together. Nobody expects your stitches to look like that of a machine and if you match your thread color to the fabric of your choice, or use a fine enough thread, then you barely see the stitches anyways!

KEY POINT: enjoy the process and don't stress over stitches showing! Ok? Ok. 

Homework for next week:

We're moving along with the next set of units on the Lucy Boston - POTC (patchwork of the crosses) block! 

Prep 4 units worth of templates and I'll see you back here next week! 

Oh, and I've had quite a few of you asking about the finished size for one block as seen on the coloring page in the sizes available in the shop, so here they are! 

  • 1" template block is approximately 17" square
  • 1.25" template block is approximately 21-3/8" square
  • 1.50" template block is approximately 25-5/8" square
  • 1.75" template block is approximately 29-7/8" square
  • 2" template block is approximately 34-1/8" square
