Hello, this video is all about EPP, fussy cutting, odd-shaped hexagons, and a very talented woman called Lucy Boston.
She lived in one of the oldest continuously inhabited homes in the UK. I've found a video on YouTube if you'd like to know more.

Lucy Boston was a patchwork maker and her specialty was EPP, particularly optical illusions created by fussy cutting and hexagons.
I did find a website selling pre-cut papers
