One of our members, Maria (All Moma Quilt)  has created a great tutorial, clearly illustrated with photographs of each step of the process. Maria apologises for some of the wording but that is the limitations of Google Translate.

Hexagon vs Octagon

Joke pointed out that my logo is made up of octagons. Yes, I must confess it is. I only had an MS Word and limited shapes available to make a quick logo. When I get back from next week, I will design a true hexagon logo.

How about something like this?
