Rustic Carpenter's Star/Wheel
This one was finished up before Christmas, as my gift in my "adopted" family exchange/swap. There is always a theme, and for the second year, it was "something I made". My goodness what hidden talents we discovered both years!!
To make something quilty, was given for me ... but what??? Not knowing who would be the recipient called for a somewhat generic item choice. Likewise for colours/fabrics. I decided a simple natural colour palette would be a "safe" choice for most of the group. With the squares finishing at 3", I felt it would be practical as a table topper or a wall hanging, offering to add a hanging sleeve, should it be of interest.
Thank you for looking!!
(and thanks to my QB friend who kindly reminded me that I had yet to post this!)

Oh Oooooooooooooh ... I see that I have a double pic in there.
And now to late to take it out.
So Sorry!!!!
Awwwwwwwww thanks, Ladies!
I wish I had some better pics of it. The fabric had a nice sheen to it.
Both the rust and the background cream fabrics were Stonehenge.
The rust had a little bit of bling.
The print was just one that was in "inventory"!
And yes ... all came from my stash!!!

Thanks DebCavan ... I can see why it is a favourite. I have only made two in my sewing life. The first was one of the first things I made when I started quilting. I tend not to re-make things, but I can also see its merit in being a nice give-away. For those who do not have quilts, it really is an attractive pattern that most really do like.
