Tartan, you did a great job at recreating it. Looks like you are on your way. I don't think you need a pattern at all. Looking forward to seeing the end result. If you are snowballing the corners, you will have a lot of little bitty HST's to put in your border. That would be really cool.

Did you try googling octogon shapes? here are a lot out there.. I really like that pattern!
|
Tartan....I found it under Prairie Grass Patterns also...named "Rubix too #118' cost was $9.00.

Tartan I really like the way your block looks. It may just be an illusion but in April's pattern it looks like the "snowballs" are huge compared to the center white square. I did smile when I read your comment about 10 3/4" block being small. I rarely make blocks even 8" haha! Mine are usually between 3"&6". I say keep going with what you have and add more blocks to get the size you want. I would love to see your finished quilt!

I can try drafting it from a 4 inch square and see if that ends up 12-1/2 but it still won't be perfect. I haven't decided if I want to bother drafting again or continue to search for the pattern.

That is an interesting block, nice job on figuring it out, I went to her website and found the pattern also, she has a templates for this particular pattern and another similar pattern called Rubix Too

Gwen, thanks for posting about the templates. No matter how carefully I draft the octagon to have 8 equal sides, by the time I trace and cut out, there are variances.
|
That's a disturbing pattern--intuitively I want equilateral octagons but that's not what I see.
|
You're very welcome Tartan, hopefully that helps, I think I read that you can get a PDF of the patttern also.

Hi Ladies! I'm so glad you like my pattern, and were able to find it on my website! Let me know if I can help with anything! xoxo April<button id="tw_schedule_btn" style="padding: 4px 6px; position: absolute; left: 141px; top: 840px; background-image: linear-gradient(rgb(255, 255, 255), rgb(240, 240, 240)); border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); color: rgb(95, 95, 95); cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 1px; white-space: nowrap; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; font-size: 11px; z-index: 8675309; display: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Schedule</button>

I think that could be a great looking quilt.
