Next sew the two Color 3 pieced half square triangle units to the top left and bottom right of a Color 1 octagon, pressing seams towards the octagon. Sew the other two half square triangle units to the top right and bottom left sides of the octagons. Make two units like this... |

|
Piece the block, by sewing together those four completed units! See? It looks tough...but it's not! :o) |

This quilt has a nice old timey look in tans and a navy print... and would be about 72" square, with a 5" wide border, and a 2" narrow border :o) Like it? Note* If you use directional fabrics, you'll want to pay close attention to their orientation within each block piece! Happy Quilting! Marcia :o) |
