Two Color Patchwork Quilt Blocks

Piecing octagons from triangles; the intricate design is a simple piecing technique repeated three times.

I was right that the two color version is beautiful! I posted pictures on Facebook and many quilters asked what pattern I used.
For this simple block,  this is the pattern – Loving Hugs. To this block I added then other two rows of triangles.

  1. Wonderful two colors blocks! These fabrics are so nice in this block, every block must be admired, so I agree with your ideea, of pillows and table runner. Happy quilting!

  2. I can see this as a round placemat. Or the smaller version as a mug rug/coaster. Very interesting and pretty.
