I love your example but when I did it" I wound up with a hole in the middle not sure why but the rest of the octagon looks right.

You just gave me an idea for a great math lesson! Of course, I'm going to use it for quilting, too.

I just bought two books by Sally Collins about making perfect pieced quilt blocks. "The Art of Machine Piecing" and "Drafting for the Creative Quilter" Yes Math. Her method is very detailed and allows so many combinations of after constructing a grid and connecting various cross points. I am just getting into it, but the designs are limitless. Her Piecing book is a wonderful narrative to read. Check your library or Amazon.com.
