:-D :-D :-D This is what I have so far and I want to put some waves around the borders. There is a fish I FMQ on the black diamonds around the quilt. Each fish is a diffrent color. So here is a picture of it now and maybe later I'll post again with some waves on the borders. There is a close up of the fish I put on it. I'm kicing myself because I was going ot put a pocket on the back for a cardbord so it would hang flat, but I forgot to. Grr,,, Enjoy it any ways, Huggies, Fay

My idea of an octagonal shaped quilt

Wow, I like it a lot.

It looks cute & why can't you add your ½ pocket on the back now just before you add your binding? That's what I did with mine that was that shape.

Bobbinchick 07-25-2011 08:50 PM

I could,, but I birthed it, but I should be able to hand sew one on or just put it on the back of the couch or just lay it on the bed in the middle for show. Thanks for the nice complments, Huggies, Fay

What a clever idea for fish. I just love what you've done with your cubes.

Stunning!

Juliebelle 07-26-2011 03:06 AM

That is wonderful great job

k3n 07-26-2011 03:15 AM

Wowzers! I love it. But I really think you should hang it on a wall so you can see the full 3D effect of the cubes. How about making some little corner pockets for the top point and the points either side then inserting two dowel rods in kind of a V shape. You could then hang it from the one hook. If it wouldn't hang striaght, you could put a pocket at each corner then dowels all around like a frame. Hope I've explained that OK. :shock: :lol:

So unusual and very pretty. I love it.

dunster 07-26-2011 05:53 AM

I love it! I agree with k3n, work on finding ways to hang it. It deserves to be up on a wall where it can be seen well.

cuppi duke 07-26-2011 05:59 AM

I really like this one. You did a great job.

Granny Quilter 07-26-2011 06:00 AM

An octogon has 8 sides, I only see 6. I love how you finished thoseblocks. You didn't need more of them, it's great1

Judith1005 07-26-2011 06:10 AM

That is an awesome quilt. What a great use for that fabric.

Very pretty

katesnanna 07-26-2011 07:04 AM

Love it. Well done!!

Bobbinchick 07-26-2011 07:06 AM

I agree an octagon has 8 sides and this has 6. Sorry, but yes I think it should be on the wall. Maybe I can create some kind of a frame made with dowels or some thing of such. I want ot put the waves on the border and such so will work on it later today. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

Cyn 07-26-2011 07:06 AM

Very cool!

nativetexan 07-26-2011 07:28 AM

great quilt!! you can always add sleeves on the top and the sides for wooden inserts now. just make the side ones closed on the bottom ends and open at the top ends to slip the wooden dowels into. when on the wall the quilt will lay flat.

Lady-T 07-26-2011 08:15 AM

Very unique quilt! Great job!

k9dancer 07-26-2011 08:21 AM

:-D :-D :-D It's not a hard one to do if you know how to do the 'Y' seams. I made a wave design on plastic template material so later today I will try it. Going to put it on the borders. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay
