Much easier than the one I looked at on google images using a compass and ruler, etc. I like your method much better. Thanks for the posting.

Thank you for the octagon pattern BUT you have an outstanding sense of design and color combination, etc. Wish you could share that talent with me.

Thanks so much...never thought of starting with a circle. As my 8 yr old GS says, "DUH!".

Hi Piecemaker, Great idea but aren't the templates used for the flower garden 6 sided? This is for an 8 sided template.
