Your block looks good.<br />Love those octagons - admire your patience with all the little pieces and can imagine it would be puzzling for a head with altogether too many things happening already.<br />Hope you can relax and enjoy some sewing soon.Misteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041179627345053724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206599720171090760.post-39936034464116416542012-08-11T11:00:04.609+10:002012-08-11T11:00:04.609+10:00LOVE those octagons - don't be down.

My friend has used my line about purples, there are a few that are ok mixes , with lots of other colours, but oh the pedestrian and suburban purples ....... NO !<br />I think I remember you saying you were doing the octagons over paper, no need, just hand piece them, I joined the vertical lines between each octagon then sewed in the squares and then connected the rows by sewing the next row on to the previous line of squares, does that make sense. I thought it came together fairly quickly.
