Lazy Eights

Looking for a different kind of sampler quilt. How about one with octagonal blocks? While it might sound difficult to make, the 8-sided affect is an illusion caused by matching each blocks corners with it setting fabric. The result is this stunning 8-sided blocks floating amid what appear to be diamonds set on-point. A special pieced 1st border completes the illusion perfectly on this 84” square quilt.
