Thank you for the blog link. There is so much there to see. Love this topper. Suzanne
And beautifully sewn out too! Love Chris
P.S. I LIKE THE BLACK AND RED ONE!
All are quite lovely. You got great taste. I love the first one's colors the best.
Nice job matching the fabric print design with the embroidery.
They are all terrific & I can't wait to try this pattern to thanks again for sharing it with us! Hugs Loralye
Thank you for the link. You have done such a lovely job inspired me to try when the heat has gone from here.
Thank you all for your kind words. I did reduce the octagon in size, about an inch smaller ( 7 1/2" across). Using the original, it would be larger. It took 2 strips of 2 1/2" each color to do. First ones I followed the pattern and quilted just the top and batting, and on mine I experimented and sewed the back on so it was completely sewn, and then quilted. That worked just fine, and gave some dimension to the back, which I made a contrasting season (snowflakes) for double use.
I love these, so different that the common rectangle version.
These are Stunning!!!Job well done...Whose designs are they!!!
These turned out so beautiful. Where did you get the pattern or is it all your own idea.
