The Octagon Quilt is inspired by the iconic Octagon in Dunedin, New Zealand, the circular heart of the city where streets and green space meet. This design translates that layout into a clean geometric quilt, using octagons and squares to build structure, guide the eye, and create a subtle illusion of curves through straight piecing.

Designed with beginners in mind, the pattern uses simple shapes and straightforward construction to achieve a design that looks more complex than it is. It is also a scrap-friendly quilt, making it a great way to explore color relationships and value contrast using fabrics you already have. The versatile block can be arranged in multiple layouts, allowing you to create your own version of The Octagon.
