6" Chrysanthemum Octagon

The 6-inch size is perfect for my larger quilt blocks, and the octagonal shape makes for some really interesting design possibilities. I love how crisp and precise the edges are—they tuck together beautifully without any guesswork.

Cutting out these paper piecing shapes was so satisfying—the tiny octagon points came out perfectly crisp every time because the acrylic template stays put on the fabric. I’ve already completed two blocks for a scrappy quilt and love how precise each 6-inch unit lines up. Definitely a must-have for

The template guides my rotary cutter perfectly around these corners, so my fussy-cut petals line up without any shifting. Nice that the acrylic piece is thick enough to grip comfortably, even after hours of sewing.
