Love the pattern it looks like one I could do

It's beautiful..if you find the pattern..let us know!

that looks awesome
and alot of pcs.

Nice! A great way to use up strips other than a traditional log cabin, courthouse steps or spiderweb blocks! Thanks for sharing this!

No but is really neat.

A very unusual block, but very pretty. I can see why you just "had to make it". Keep up the good work, the blocks are beautiful. MargeD

I love that pattern

Eparys found the pattern at:

Betty, Thanks for the link, I love this pattern.

awesome! Another one to put on the to do list.

Yep thats what it is I have a book here from the library-The Classic American Quilt Collection of Log Cabin its a Rodale Quilt Book It has some real easy instructs and patterns and yardage charts

I am adding this to my list of want-to do's!

I, too, thought of Kay Wood on PBS in Michigan. She did this years ago. I have her octagon templates. Love the plaids.

I love it, gotta try it! Thanks for sharing. Happy Quilting. :-D

That a beautiful quilt and looks like quite a challenge.I will have to try at least one block to see if I could do this one.

Wouldn't that make a terrific Christmas Wreath quilt! Well, that is where my mind went, anyway.

I could see it with I-Spy type fabrics in the center of each block!!

I did a oct. pineapple and I got the pattern out of the pineapple book by the gals that had the Great American Quilt Factory in Denver. the problem is they just retired and closed the shop. Wow after some digging I found one of their books Nancy Smith & Lynda Milligan and their books were under Possibilities. I hit the jackpot I found a order form probley it doesn't do any good but the book is number POS-60 Positively Pineapple and it was $21.95.

Opps hit the wrong button. any way their website is www.possibilitiesquilt.com Since they have closed up the shop I don't know if they still have a website????
I sure am going to miss their shop, Everytime I went to Denver that was one of my first stops and I would spend hours in there. I hope that they know they will be missed but I hope they enjoy their retirement.

Never heard of it, love it, will probably need to add it to my list too when I can afford the fabric. Groan...

I sure hope my treasures in heaven Includes a God powered sewing machine because it will take me a good share of Eternity to make all the quilts I have on my "list". This one makes a gajillion and one!

Thank you eparys. I can see this using up some of my scraps.

Never seen it before but I like it.

I love this. It would be like making the octagon table toppers, but starting with a very small center piece. Thanks fr sharing.

That is neat - something to try - - - being a new quilter, my only thought is would it get thick or heavy with all of those seams?

I like it. :):):)

I have saw this patternbefor in a book. I thought this would be interesting with black gray and white and use black/white picturesor blackor brown and use gold and cream with the sepitone pictures and make a wall hanging for my brother with his 2 sons. Just for a keepsake.But this pattern is so pretty made in a quilt,

Striking... Unusual!!!!
Can't wait to see what you do with it!!!

I like how they avoided the dreaded "Y" seam. Clever!

beautiful and intriguing!!

Very stunning love it

Thats right up my alley!

There is a similar design I want to do. I found it in a book about Japanese designs. It is a hexagon and the border template is half of the original hexagon. It is so easy and is great for using up scraps, not to mention fun.

thanks for this pattern I just love it... may be one I need to teach in the fall.

I looked on Amazon and found the Positively Pineapple book by Possibilities Nancy smith and Lynda Milligan and there were used copies for $3.00.
This is very easy to sew just the straight lines.
I made mine with dog fabrics and it is very cute. i have all the blocks finished and just have to sew it together.
would you beleive it is already pinned into rows.
Got to get busy and finish it and then I well post picture.

I was looking through my quilt books and found the Positively Pineapple book with the ruler stuck inside it! I thought I had bought it some years ago. I'll buy a pattern/book/ruler and tell myself I have to finish the quilts I'm working on now and then I'll make this. By the time I'm finished the quilts I forgot about the pattern because another have to make pattern comes my way.

Thanks for posting! Love it!

Toni,this is so intriguing. I love what you have done with it. I love Log Cabins but have never seen this way of doing it before. Can you tell us a bit more about the pattern?.

This pattern is in "101 Log Cabin Blocks" by Linda Causee. If you like log cabins you need this book. They are all paper pieced. More patterns than you can imagine. Flowers, hearts, spirals, buildings, pineapples, etc.

Isn't this a hexagon? Octo is 8, Hex is 6. Thanks for sharing. Really like yours.
