Hope this helps...I just learned after I used and re used a paper one someone sent me.(the last fold (pic4)) should be lined up,,it popped open when I took the pic

Thanks for that information. It seems simple enough - famous last words. That way, one could make several different sizes.

Thank you very much for this tutorial! This is going to be very helpful :D:D:D

Youre welcome!!

Thanks, I needed that. PS Your table toppers are beautiful. all of them!

Thanks that makes sense to me and I could never figure that out I am going to try that later today!!

I always tried doing it with a square. After I saw how simple the circle was I felt silly!

Thanks so very much--every time I see one of your table toppers (that are always so beautiful,) I wonder how you do those so beautifully--and so fast! :lol:

Hooray! thank you so much! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks, riversong! I always have trouble with that.

I was just going to PM you for help! I have done smaller ones with a circle and compass but this is so easy and great! I love your work and admire all you have shown us. Thanks.

Thanks for this tip on making octagons. I was making it waaay too hard. Your table toppers are gorgeous. Keep up the good work!!! You inspire me☺

Thank you for that! It makes so much sense & is so easy! I have loved looking at all of your toppers!

OMG, who would have thought it could be so easy. Thank you.

Thank you, that's a great trick! :thumbup:

wow-that seems so easy thanks for posting

Riversong,

Thank you so very much. I wanted to make an octagon table topper but didn't know how I would accomplish the shape. voila!!

Thx,
Nancy

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for showing us that. Now where do you get those beautiful pictures you put on them. I would love to make one but aren't good at doing applique. Thanks

Thank you that takes all the quess work out of trying to make one.

Thank you for the tutorial, Riversong! I have an idea for an octagon table topper and have been puzzling in my mind for the last couple of weeks how to make the shape! So, very timely.

Thank you! This looks so easy, I was making it difficult when I tried to figure out how to do it.

thanks for the tute - now I really feel like I might be able to 'whip one up'

Thank you.

I tried measuring each edge of the octogon and I couldn't get it to come out right. THis is a lot easier to do and the good thing is , you make it larger or smaller. I have a Santa done and I just have to quilt it and such. Now I gotta go find that fabric I have that has poinsetias on it and make another one. THanks for all you've done, Huiggies, Fay

That's neat - thank you so much for posting that. It's one of those Why-didn't-I-think-of-that-myself? sort of things, and oh so handy to have. Thank you all for all the helpful things and comments you post every day!

hi thanks a million for that wonderful tip and the directions..................ty ty ty..........

thank you so much for helping with this.. i just cut out the originial- pizza pan, 14" octagon, then a 13.5 octagon, then a 11" octagon, this one i think i will use alot, thanks again, Riversong.......molly

Thank you so much you'll see why when you get my note! Your tute is ++++ helpful!

Thanks. Easy when somebody shows you.

Thanks so much - I measured and almost went crazy last Xmas trying to get a perfect octagon. I finally bought a small one from JoAnn's and figured next time I could enlarge it but this is a lot easier.

That is so good!! Thank you so much. I have been wanting to make a larger octagon shape and was trying to think how to do it. This is perfect. Thank you again.

thanks so very much Riversong!!!
have a great week
sorry about the caps

LOL, my response exactly. In my mind, it was some obscure higher math function. Thank you so much. For this and all the lovely table toppers you have shared, and the tutorial!!! Hugs and smiles, wildlinda aka wildyard
PS: so many Linda's here, thought I'd go with my spades nickname. LOL

Thanks for the tut, great info and I will be using that to make some hex runner for gifts.

Thanks! How smart you are! I just happened to be sitting here with fall fabric trying to figure out how to measure for a hexagon!

thanks. that's why i bought kay Woods hexagons that snap together, (nest together). i never could get the hang of making my own!

Thanks I have learned so much visiting here...

Riversong, thanks so much for your help. My 3d pinwheel is waiting for quilting then I went out today and got the fabric I needed for a warm wishes quilt and now I can do a table topper for christmas - my friends always want me to make them a quilt for Christmas and I believe this will be just an nice and a pleasant surprise... Thanks again for all your help and keep up the good work. We all love your work...gb

Is there a tutorial for the table topper?
