In our quild class we made place mats, using the same idea. I believe we used 10" sq. And a 2 1/2" borders. Sandwich batting in between the back and front, turn inside out, stitch in the ditch, and top stitch 1/4" around the sides. we many soooo... Many of these... Great Christmas gifts to make ...

Thanks so much for this tutorial - very well done! Now I have no excuse not to do something with my collection of I-Spy hexagons!

Left out an important note..on the 10" sq. Mark 3" out from each corner, then make a cut from side to side to get a perfect octagon.
Thankyou so much for the great tut.

I love your tutorial, you made it look so easy.

Very nice. Thanks for tutorial.

Thanks for the great tutorial, I just had to bookmark it, I am doing a gmf by hand (miniature) but this tutorial gave me the idea to make a full size one by machine (sometime in this life time I hope).

Thanks so much, I'll surely give this one a try.
