Hexagon and Square Quilt Pattern
I saw this quilt at a local show and I was trying to work out the pattern. It appears to me the hexagons are not true geometric shapes in that the edges receiving the joining square patches are shorter than the other sides. The drafting of it has completely foxed me and so I wondered if anyone could help please?
Thank you in advance.

Here is a pattern by Missouri Star Quilt CO that is similar...it looks to me like the "hexagons in your quilt really are "snowballed" squares.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I hadn't noticed that they were octagonal shapes. I feel rather stupid. Now I must try it out and see what happens. I think papers will be needed? Otherwise it will be challenging to sew on the machine.
