This quilt was also for my daughter Shawna. It took me 4 months to make. Each 12" block has 104 pieces in it. There are 56 blocks in the top. It measures 100" x 114". I'm so proud of it!!! It's a Carpenter's Star block.

WHOA! That is AWESOME! You did a great job!

You should be proud :mrgreen: That is AWESOME :thumbup: I can't believe the patience it must have taken for all those pieces in each block :shock:

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

I tried to find the Carpenter's Star block pattern, no luck.

Is it called something else?

Wow! What a stunning quilt. You did an amazing job - just beautiful!

WOW!!! That's absolutely beautiful! You have a right to be proud, and I'm sure your daughter is thrilled!

I do have alot of patience. In fact, before I had even finished Shawna's quilt, I had been hired to make one for a woman in Mass. So, as soon as I finished Shawna's, I was making another one. It was out of warm colors, browns, golds, rust, red, greens. It was just suppose to be a "throw", but I made it 72" x 85". It was beautiful. I'll post pictures of it, titled Dawn's quilt. Watch for it.

That is truly a stunning quilt.. wow.. you have every right to be proud of that ... wonderful use of color too.

That really is beautiful!

I'm curious - what is the size of each block? I'm wondering if it would be close to what I've been working on - it might help me visualize!

And you should be proud, it's beautiful!! :thumbup:

I never could find a pattern for it either. I looked for months, but I absolutely loved the pattern, so I made my own. I just saw a picture of one on eBay once. I didn't know much about quilting at the time, as I had only been quilting for about 6 months. I just used all 2 1/2" squares, not even realizing that that wouldn't work since some were squares in it and some were half squares. Then, I didn't know how big they should be, so I sewed all the like 4 patches together and then decided on a size and cut them down. It was hilarious! Check out the pictures I took.

These are 12" blocks.

That's an absolutely gorgeous quilt! WOW!

I just want to thank all of you for your compliments and for the interest and most of all, for your friendliness. I love this site!

Thank You!!!

You should be proud. Your quilt is awesome.

That only took you FOUR months???? I am amazed. You should be very proud of it. Great job!

What are you working on? Got a Picture?

What are you working on? Got a picture?

It's a crumb quilt that will have sashing - I've been working on 6" blocks that will be sewn together to make 11.5" squares. I recently finished 204 of the 6" squares and I thought I was done - but looking at yours I'm now figuring that I will need 20 more. :cry:

No pics - the last I knew, our camera wasn't working.

That is absolutely gorgeous! She'll cherish that forever...
