Hi Dorothy,
 You humble me with your kind words :).  I am not deserving of such praise.. 
believe me I fall short all to often.

You are a brave one to be doing octagons... something I have only tried 
once... and the Grandmother's flower garden will remain in my UFO box for a 
very long time to come... Now of course there are some of you who can do this 
very successfully... and for you I am thrilled... but my success with 
octagons is very limited... I think I will stick to the straight lines for 
now... besides even those straight lines present a big challenge for me these 
days. 
Have fun with the fabric shopping... buy all the fabrics you can haul home!!!
