Thanks for the link. I used in a different way. I just bought fabric for a one block wonder and wanted to figure out how many blocks I would need to cut to make a quilt. Well I printed out a template, adjusting the size to 1 inch and found out if my octagons were 12 inches, which is the size I want to make,I will need to cut 30 6 inch (unfinished) 45 degree triangles for a 60X72" quilt. Fabulous!

Thanks for the great tute, I am making a Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt and every thing helps to keep me working on it!

Glad you are enjoying the tutorial! Thanks all for answering the questions that were asked. Yes, the paper and basting stitches will come out after they are joined. I use hand quilting thread, but I'm sure you could use whatever you had. I will do another tutorial for joining and making the flowers when I get to that stage :)

I got my first 6 done while riding in the car to pick up my 10yo grandson from his first 2 week camp, here outside of San Antonio. The first one,(hexagon) I had to stop and redo since I wasn't aware of the shifting and had no seam allowance at the last point, live and learn but I do enjoy the mindlessness of it. I sewed all the squares I add cut so now I need to work on another stack of squares. Thanks for the tutorial, Cindy

I use this site also to make my hex's. http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/hexagonal/

I like how you can adjust the printer for different sizes. The small hex's are for a lap quilt.

The larger ones are for an I Spy quilt. I take EPP along in the car, Dr's office, ets. Mindless work and keeping my hands busy.

Great tut.

I made coasters for the whole family last year for Christmas. They loved them. It was something I could do on the truck easily. :D :D

This sounds like a WINNER !!!!!

What am I doing wrong? It looks like you have pictures with your tute, but I can't see them. Tried right click and download pics, but it didn't work. Also, the one link is blocked here, so I can't see that. Any ideas on how to get the pictures to show?

I like the fabric selection you have chosen in the pile, very sweet...
