Lucy Boston English Paper Piecing

 I received an English Paper Piecing Kit from my daughter Linda for Christmas.  The hexies are a joy to make and I made several bag projects. 

 When I saw Lucy Boston Crosses on Pinterest I fell in love.  The first block for my lap quilt is complete.  I am using 1" elongated hexies for the pieces, sometimes called "honeycombs".


I am so pleased with how the block appears!  English Paper Piecing, EPP, is a slow process!  My plans are to have 9 squares using different colors.  This will give an antique appearance. The white is the border for the quilt blocks and four 1" small squares will be added at the sides and squares in each of the corners. 

EPP is addictive! I've already have several projects in mind after this Lucy Boston Cross Quilt.
