Circles of simply colors
 

I saw a picture of blocks of this pattern and I have followed links to the company and designer but I can't find the pattern. It was supposed to be by Prairie Grass Patterns but I didn't find it there. I drafted my own octagon of 3-1/2 inch squares but it isn't perfect and a little small for a block at 10-3/4 inches. 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. It is a cute designs as when the blocks are sewn together they form connecting circles.[ATTACH=CONFIG]564794[/ATTACH]

Interesting. This would be a good stash buster for me. Thanks for posting

Tartan, would you post the link to the original quilt/picture you saw so that we could see the original? What you have done is good, but it's not circles.

Here is a link from Pintrest: (I googled the pattern name)

Oh, I really like the way you did this...may have to adapt something like this for a project.

excellent idea, a bunch of them as a buster.

very neat !!

What a fun pattern for a block tartan. No wonder you are enamored by it. I enjoy doing snowball blocks.

I think you did a great job by just a visual and I really like the results you have done. Thanks for the link and picture.

looks interesting

Russian Rubix is what I found in the Prairie Grass patterns. (I like the pattern and had to go find it . . .)

Hope this helps.

That's really nice. I love greens but also think it would be great as a scrappy.

The Russin Rubix pattern is also available as a PDF

Thanks everyone! I looked and looked but you are obviously better lookers! :DI thought it will be a great pattern to use up misc. charm squares.

Can you use snowball blocks? Making some with just three triangles corners(those would be the circle connections, then just a background square of whatever size in the center of circle created? Just a quick supposition after a quick look....

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!

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

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.

Wow - as always I am amazed at how quickly board members search out things! Love this pattern and just ordered it and the acrylic templates. My new project is just a mailbox away!

April,
love both versions...hmmm...I have a birthday coming up...I might need to get myself a little gift! :D

looks interesting pattern

Greenheron, The sides are equal it is just the unsewn seam allowance that makes them seem different.

Like this pattern would be great to do each set of blocks different colors.

Love the pattern!

Tartan; I like the ones you did and would just keep making the squares until it is big enough.

Looks like a wonderful pattern! You did great designing it from a picture!!

Alright friends, all those who ordered patterns are shipping today. :) xoxo<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>

Love that pattern! You did a great job in drafting it on your own, Tartan, but maybe the templates will make the process easier. I am going to look into it myself. I see another scrappy quilt in my future! Thanks for sharing!
