Question for Vicki4x4

15 years ago

Vicki,

I am thinking that a year or so ago that you posted a picture of a quilt that resembled tumbling blocks but I think it may have had another name such as carpenter star??

Does that ring a bell at all? I wanted to show it to someone and haven't had any luck with a search. It seems like there was either lime green or bright orange in it.

The brain gets a little dusty here with the memory.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Deanna

Deanna, in case Vicky isn't on right now here's a link to the post I think you are asking about. It's called a Carpenter's Wheel. I agree - this is a beautiful quilt!

It is a Carpenter Star. I've made a bunch of these, they are fast and easy to make with no Y seams.

Here's one done in teal and purple:

I love the carpenter's wheel. I did one for my dh, but I haven't quilted it yet because I want to do feathers and I need more practice.

Beautiful quilts, ladies!!

OHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks so much for all of your help. I knew I could count on you all. Does it seem like it would be ok to make it more rectangular than square by adding a longer border?? I just love that border. I have a gift to make by September 10 and I am just not in the sewing mode so much but I think with the larger pieces I can get back in the swing of things. Thanks!! Deanna

I LOVE the Carpenter's Wheel!

But I didn't know there was a large version of it.

Vicky, your teal & purple combination is beautiful, as is the pink one. Thanks for the link to the lap size quilt. I will add it to my already bursting binder of "wish" quilts to make!

Geezerfolks, my favorite color is blue, and yours is gorgeous.

I only know how to make the 24" block pattern.
Here's the one I made for our Racine Garden Club's Silent auction last December:
