Decided to check out how strong my shoulder is since surgery and make a tree skirt. Well, the shoulder held without too much pain and the tree skirt is together. My question is " how do you put a border on an octagon tree skirt, and mitre the borders". I should be able to do this but my brain decided to freezeup!

I found this-it might help (scroll down to the diagram)

eta: this pattern has angles that would be the same as an octagon. At the binding instruction it just says the corners worked fine even though they are not 90 degrees.

That is the one I did. Binding isn't the issue at the moment, I want to add co-ordinating border fabric to the tree shirt and am not sure how to mitre the corners.

I just finished an octagon (or was it hexagon?) tree skirt for my sister and mitered the corners of the binding just the same as regular. Did finish the binding by hand instead of machine but that's because I enjoy that process and think it looks better.
