Question for Vicki4x4

12 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 wanted to mention to those that haven't yet, please post to the "getting to know me" thread here in the conversation area. This is to help your swap partner "get to know you" a bit better to help with some of your swap choices! It looks like another good turnout of folks participating, I am very pleased that we chose something you ladies were interested in! You should be receiving your names on Thursday, I'll post here after I get them out. I will be leaving today until Wednesday evening, so if you post or email me you might not hear from me until then. I'll have my laptop, but I will also be keeping a very active 4 year old entertained!LOL Thanks again! Lisa

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:
