here is another post by Riversong that shows how to make her table topper. It is also in the "Tutorial" section here.

I tried this tute and mine did not make a hexagon.. Will try again later. Sure do want this and an octagon pattern.

That is a LOT simpler than the way my math teacher taught me in high school!!! Thanks!

Going to try your system soon! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, found the tutorial for your tabletopper too, thanks! I thought it looked familiar from the QIAD forum, lol, I should have known who made it! Love it, & thanks again for sharing!

That is because it is supposed to be an OCTAGON!!! (think stopsign)

Great tip!! I would have gone about it the hard way, using math; then I would have gotten frustrated!

Wow ... thanks for this! Would have never in a million years thought to do this.

Thank you so much for the octagon tute and the table topper tute.

You did a fantastic job on these tutorials and your toppers are gorgeous!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank-you so much for this.
