Thank you for the tutorial, Riversong! I have an idea for an octagon table topper and have been puzzling in my mind for the last couple of weeks how to make the shape! So, very timely.

Thank you! This looks so easy, I was making it difficult when I tried to figure out how to do it.

thanks for the tute - now I really feel like I might be able to 'whip one up'

Thank you.

I tried measuring each edge of the octogon and I couldn't get it to come out right. THis is a lot easier to do and the good thing is , you make it larger or smaller. I have a Santa done and I just have to quilt it and such. Now I gotta go find that fabric I have that has poinsetias on it and make another one. THanks for all you've done, Huiggies, Fay

That's neat - thank you so much for posting that. It's one of those Why-didn't-I-think-of-that-myself? sort of things, and oh so handy to have. Thank you all for all the helpful things and comments you post every day!
