You are all so SMART and helpful, thank you so much.
I did not check the CT page, I was looking at amazon, so I could download to my kindle app, so my bad

Thank you Shepherdess, good catch.
Macy, it was the strip sewing that caught my eye, I need a mindless project between a couple of complicated ones I'm working on, and between catching up on my machine quilting project line up. I can only do that so long before my back shoults no.I have some nice bags of color sorted 2" strips that might be good for this, it isn't a size I use often in piecing.
Peckish, good catch on the maltese cross...two Different angled shapes! Duh. Stitch678 I did know to tape the shape to my ruler, but drawing the seam line instead of guesstimating the offset is brilliant. (I watched her last made video and she has lost 100 pounts, well done her and may she live long and prosper)
IceBlossom, thanks for the direct link to the octogon print out and a perfect start if I decide to go that shape . Thank you and I hope you aren't freezing in your new home!
Thank you Bear, you always come through with good ideas!
