Octagonal Orb

This month's bee block in the Sew.Bee.Create group is the Octagonal Orb for Kris.

The tutorial is at the Modern Quilt Guild website, and the block is designed by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh Fransson!

Kris had done all the cutting, and there was a lot of it, squares and rectangles. I just love her fabrics! She must have a great scrap bin!




Sewing up the block was quick to do, and the finished block is gorgeous!  Kris is going to put on the triangles to make the block a square. It finishes at a little over 17" square. Six would make a very pretty crib quilt. (Note to self!)
