My Overlapping Octagons, inspired by a quilt in "The Unconventional and Unexpected ..." and part of the Quilt along hosted by Sujata Shah, is progressing, but nowhere near completion. Here are the units I've made so far, randomly placed on the design wall.

I thought I would use as many of my 19th century reproduction fabrics as possible to make space in my sewing room. Unfortunately most of the "reds" look more like brown, so I shall be adding brighter reds to the mix.There was not much blue, and that has nearly all been used now.
I'm enoying using my scraps in this way; really satisfying!

Very nice how this quilt is shaping up and I imagine it is a lot of fun to piece together. Christine xx
Oh good for you getting along so far Marly - I am still collecting my fabrics and sorting them, I've also gone for a different quilt.
That looks like fun Marly. Thank you for linking up to the Peacock Party.
I like how your reds are looking, and those little bits of orange in there too.
Looking good. I think the reds you already have in there are perfect for this project.
