Anyway I will do hexagon for now.

I've made 4 hexagon OBW's. I have not yet done an octagon OBW. I'd say start with the hexagon OBW and then go from there.

I know ppl who manage withe laying out on the floor but I think if you have the room for a design wall, it's great to be able to stand back and look as you're working. And from the sound of you, this won't be your last, so it will be a good investment! :lol:

I haven't made an octagon either - it just doesn't appeal to me to fiddle about with the square thingies. Also, I think you 'see' the blocks more in the octagons, I prefer the more seamless look of the hexes. Just my personal taste. :-D

Hi guys, I just wanted to let y'all know that I bought a bunch of this fabric, and if any of you want some, I'll be happy to sell some to you. Just PM me.

I have a small portable design "wall". Its just a 24" sq if heavy cardboard covered...stapled ..in flannel. Nice for doing small blocks & easy to move around.

Here's some blocks.They don't grab me, but will prob finish them....one of these days. :D

that is going to be fun to watch

It's not on Joann's web site. To bad, I would have liked to join in the fun

I ordered a bolt on page 8 one of the girls posted it...If you want I can order you a bolt ot just whatever yardage...you can pay me and I will have sent to you if you. If want me to check into it tomorrow, I know there is another 50 perecnt coupon out now so if its not on sale you could use that too!

Well girls, I will not be able to join in. I am back from out of town but my daughters step mother died after a year and a half bout with brain cancer and I am very close to their daughter also. She was only 53yrs old. Please remember the family in your prayers
Thanks
