8 Mentai: 8 Hexagons (C8)

      
         This marking creates 8 hexagons from the 8 triangles found on the 8-Combination Division. 6 stars will also form around the poles.
       
        Begin by marking an 8 Combination Division using regular marking thread.

After completing the 8 Combination division, locate the 6 point centers. Stitch a hexagon as shown, with Line A-B being equal to Line A-C.

Repeat in all 8 triangles.  While the "star" created around the 8-point center with the four irregular diamonds is not counted as a face, it does add a lot of design possibility to the marking.
