I had a request for my OBW Dragon Octagon quilt from Kathryn. I'm glad to have converted a non-believer (non-octagon)! They are my favorites (sorry hexagon lovers!) I really love your work too, but I'm not going to become a convert. I love all the playing with all the pieces! So, that said, here is my "dragon" quilt and my first OBW and my PINK OBW (yes, it really is a OBW, just with two different fabrics .. okay, you probably call it something else, but I made it so it is still a OBW to me!) (oops ... only three photos so I'll do a new post for the pink and bull fighter quilt)

Karen these are beautiful! I'm going to try an octagon, I don't think I'll ever totally leave the hexes but I should at least try one, right? I especially love the different size blocks in the dragon one. :-D :-D :-D
OK going back for another look! :mrgreen:

So I think it's normal pink octagons, alternating with octagons that have four pink and four b&w "petals" (sort of "striped" if that makes sense). And the little squares are b&w. So the b&w "oval"-looking shapes are really squares with long triangles on two sides. (Man, wouldn't this be easier just pointing a finger lol...)
Am I right? :D
