The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block D6

When I original drew this template, I had the border as a single piece on each side. But as I studied Jane’s block a little closer, it really looked more like an octagon than my template. In order to create her same effect, I duplicated her extra seams in the outer border. The result is extra template sections, but it definitely looks more like the original block. And I had fun adding some extra depth with my grunge version by coloring the corners differently from the octagon.

Note: Unit A and Unit B in the pattern are for the sashing. I chose to make 5-inch blocks like the original rather than sash 4½-inch blocks. If you prefer to add your sashing when your blocks are all finished, just eliminate the A and B units from my pattern. The center sections will then be 4½ inches finished in size and you can add your sashing later.
