Looking for a pattern

Does anyone know where I can get a pattern for different sized octagon table toppers?

Thanks memaw. I could trade you or whatever, just let me know. I'd even pay you for the pattern.

Marion, I did a tutorial on making one... go to Home page and look for Quilters Resort Online Classes ... click.... then look for Octagon Table Runner....

Golo's tutorial is awesome. You could make them in your sleep after watching it.

Thank-You Golo, will do that right now!

Golo, that looks so easy.
So for different sizes you just go in less inches and cut?
Also, use a smaller square of fabric to start with and then just add your borders?

Even I could make this! Thank you so much.


Marian I got busy and forgot to look. I promise I'll look after church Sunday. If I have one you're just welcome to borrow it for as long as you need it. Chances are I won't want it back anyway. Once I've made one I usually don't make it again........unless I just absolutely love the pattern or I'm insane!

Got a question for you ladies. Those of you who get Connecting Threads, do you keep the magazines??? I'm so darned upset with myself, I put one back that I wanted a pattern out of and now can't find it. it had a log cabin quilt done up in one of their lines of material and was put together in the shape of a star in the middle. Can't afford the material right now but wanted to call and see if i could buy just the pattern for it for now. The lady said she couldn't recall the pattern, but if I could give her the numbers on it she could try to look it up for me. I think it must have gotten tossed out and Don has burned the big trash box, so I'm out of luck there. It hasn't been too long ago. Thanks . Norma

Is this similiar ??? http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/techniques/piecing/log-cabin-quilts_ss4.html

No Golo, not any where near it, thanks for trying to help me. Norma

I sent them an e-mail, surely someone should have a copy of the catalog, at least I would think so. Norma

Try this one

I just drew it up. The 2 main colors are sewn as equal WOF strips of whatever width you want. Use the 45* marks on you ruler to cut them. Half will have one color pointy, half the other. I fold a paper as though I were making a paper airplane to get my initial 22.5* wedge (not a part of the quilt) then use the ruler from there. The borders are similarly made with WOF strips. I treat them like mitered corners. That is, I cut each segment a bit big, sew it to the quilt body. Fold the body on the corresponding seam, then sew to the outer edge and trim off the excess. I did this in red green and gold because I thought that might be nice at this time of year. This is MUCH easier than it looks. If the center seams panic you, cut out that part and top stitch on a (gold) square instead.

How about this one, Krafty http://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Log-Cabin-Star-Wallhanging-Quilt-Kit/3128075/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&adtype=pla&kw={keyword}

that was fun, QM.... pretty design and colors

QM, thanks for the puzzle, fun!!!

Now I can't get the pattern pieces to turn around.

I found the Log Cabin Quilt. It's in the December magazine of McCall's Quick Quilts. I kept looking at that one and the one in Connecting Threads trying to make up my mind which one I liked the best and got them mixed up. Thanks for your help. Norma

Norma - do you have that magazine so you're all set then?

Yes I do Mary Ann, thanks for your help, just will have to make it better, probably better to do it on graph paper to make sure i get the added pattern right. Norma

I am glad you found it... I don't think I have that magazine... last one I got was Nov. maybe my subscription is done.... Not ordering any more mag. this year... Just keep my eye open for some thing interesting...

Does any one have a daisy pattern.. might be called Love me ... love me not... starts off with a whole daisy and drops one petal on each block.... it came out a few years back?

Sounds familiar. Was it in a magazine?
