perhaps, if I had given inklingo more attention, I might think differently, maybe some day.......

Looking at it, I would definitely paper piece it. It uses 1" honeycombs and 1" squares, both of which you can get from PaperPieces.com. The instructions on this page are clear enough that I don't think I need any further instructions, but I might get her daughter-in-law's book, just to see her other quilts. From the reviews, it sounds interesting!

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.

I hate EPP so I bought Inklingo. I love it, however, I'm not too wild about Linda Frantz's control of the pattern. You have to log in and can only have it on 2 machines which is no problem but I've had issues when I had to wipe a computer a couple of times because of issues I was having. Her site thought I had loaded it more (I've only had it on the one computer). I had to contact her to get her to reset my permissions. She questioned me on why I needed it reset and told me repeatedly that I could only load it twice. I guess she thought I had it on more than one computer. I told her I had to completely wipe my computer and that I only had 1 computer so that's the only one it had been loaded on. I didn't appreciate what I considered being fussed at and having to explain why I needed what I paid for restored to me. I also wonder what would happen if she went out of business or died (I know, terrible!) but if you can't sign on to "renew," you can't continue to use it.
