Its really easy to make them. Draw a circle whatever size you want. ( I use a pie plate,pizza pan,or whatever) Fold it in half ,then fold again.Take a ruler and draw a line across the rounded edge from side to side and cut off the rounded portion. Unfold and you got it!

Oh ya I can do that and thanks

Thanks Riversong! I have a small center made from a Dresden plate and I wanted to make it into an octagon. I am mathematically challenged so your instructions are great.

I've got a Santa started. Thanks for the idesa of drawing a circle and tried it on a small piece of paper and it worked, just like you said. Huggies Fay

Will you send me a copy of the octogon? I will send an envelope?? Those are the cutest!!!

Thanks
Renae :D

Thanks! now I can do this,,,,,

Riversong, you are such a dear to give us the directions. I have admired your work for many weeks. Your work is beautiful! I know the buyers of your items are so happy to have the toppers.

Thank you :)

You take the "I can't do that" out of quilting and make it so much fun. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

I did it too! with me being (well really not anymore) a newbe with the craft of quilting, I really loved to learn how to make this octagon, planning to create a doll quilt for January! Oh and I really am getting better on the borders!!

Yeah I took out the I can't do it and just started having fun with this .

Again thanks Rivewrsong for "fun"

Very pretty. Thank you for the tute!

This is a great tutorial .... I will be making mine starting with a 12 1/2"
pieced Star in center .... and just adding coordinating borders.

Thanks!!!! I have made a few from your tutorials!

Here is the post from Riversong

Thank you!

How do you bind your table topper? I am trying to bind a table runner that has non 90 degree angles and am stymied. Cindy

I was so inspired by your wallhanging that I just had to make one. Thank you so much for your tute.
When I was going through my stash to find a border fabric, I was shocked to find that I had a companion fabric to the dogwood blossoms around the cardinals. Who would have guessed.

The topper is beautiful. Thanks for the tut.

Thanks for sharing.

Rats, wanted to show another quilter this, but clicked on your link & all the pics are gone! Any chance of reposting this tute for us! Thanks in advance!

I noticed that too. :(

piney

Me too! Really inspired by the lovely ones you have shown.

so what happened to the pictures that you posted with this tute?

Greetings from Idaho. When I call up this site it tells me that this image or video has been moved or deleted and it's signed by Photobucket. I so wanted that pattern, any suggestions for how I might get pictures with the tutorial?

I thought Riversong posted instructions on this site under Tutorials....and gave directions for making an octagon pattern. It's been a while....

This again takes me to the Quilt in a Day tut and it says the same thing. When I call up this site it tells me that this image or video has been moved or deleted. So I still can't find it. What a dummy I must be.

Seems like no one else is having trouble with the pictures, but I am unable to see any of the pictures. I can see the ihe instructions, but not the pictures.

That's exactly what I get.

She must have removed all of her pictures
There is a nice octagon pattern at: www.pinetreelodge.net/extras.html
Something similar could be done with any size octagon shape and any number of borders.

I wish we could get Riversong to post the tute with pictures again. Written instructions are my downfall....but pictures I understand.

I just looked - no pictures/images for me, either.

Thank you for posting this link. The patterns are really cute.

The pictures have been deleted. Page has been edited. This is the message I got.
