Ok, I know that I want to make an octagon (8 sided, not a 6 sided hexagon). I want to use 8 individual wedges. What I don't know is at what degree of angle do I cut the fabric into. I have searched this board and Googled the answer and somehow I'm just not getting it, I don't think. 45 and 60 don't work, the closest that I have came is 22 degree wedges. Please either confirm this or tell me what I am missing. Thanks in advance.

the center angle is 45 degrees - 360 degrees divided by 8
The angles of the triangle are 67.5, 67.5 and 45 degrees. |

Glad you got it figured out.

I'll be glad when I can figure out how to make the different cuts of fabric.
