I have one block of POTC done. It's something that you carry in your handbag and work on when you can. I'm
using the English pp method. You can make your own elongated hexagons on card stock. They're also reusable.
Coincidentally, today I picked up the latest(?) issue of Quiltmania (no. 112). It has a pattern called Lucy in a Hurry,
a larger simplified version of the original.
