Feather POTC sq a (2) $14.00 USD
Lucy Boston of Hemingwood Grey made a beautiful quilt incorporating this block.
Linda Franz of Inklingo published the quilt pattern calling it Patchwork of the Crosses. She has also developed an accurate, quick and easy method for cutting the patches for the blocks.
However - these blocks are very time consuming to piece - usually they are handsewn. If the quilt top is not going to be handquilted, then certainly a block specific quilting patterns were called for!
When one of these magnificent quilts came into Sue B's Quilting I developed several patterns - from very loose to very dense quilting. This pattern is at the 'denser' end with two, some times three feathers sitting in each of the elongated hexagons (or lozenges).
- other patterns are available, including for the frames and setting squares (put POTC in the search filter).
Design Features
- for quick and easy placement, I have popped a p2psu pattern in here for those with Statler Stitchers. The registration points are as shown with a * on the image to the left and show up as very tiny dots on your monitor.
- when using the p2p function - do an audition on the first block - to check everything is being placed as you would like. Maybe you might have to move just where it is you are going to register the block slightly. After that has been established - do the same thing every time.<br>

- Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC): used this in the main blocks. Sue used the p2psu version and exclaimed how the patterns just dropped in - each with just two clicks!
