After being unable to find a simple reference sheet for the Carpenters Wheel quilt, I decided to make my own. I hope others will find this useful. I have included an image and a pdf file, if you prefer. Enjoy. :D

*** Please Note: I did not included any measurements so that you may make the quilt (or other item) any size that works for you. :D

Thank you. What size are the blocks?

In order to answer your question (a good one), I added a note to my post. I intentionally did not include measurements. :D

The blocks are whatever size you want. My 48" one started with 6.5" blocks, which means I cut the ones for the HSTs 7.5". Could have been a shade less, but I wanted even half inches.

BTW, 4 hours is a very liberal estimate. Mine might have taken less time if I had used only two colors, but I used eight.

Stitchinbee, that's a helpful mockup. I wish I'd had it a few weeks ago.

If you want a 12 1/2 inch block, make all of your squares or HST 2"

Thank you.

Thanks for the useful info. Sure does save time on my part. :thumbup:

Thanks

thank you for taking the time to do that. i hope to make one some day.

When I was a 'newbie' I had a moderately difficult time piecing each piece individually, without realising it could be broken into hst parts.Your diagram makes it clear to beginners and experienced alike, how one can analyse the blocks.Many thanks.

Thanks. I have wanted to make a Carpenter's Wheel. Now, maybe I will.

Thanks

As one bee to another: Thank you for putting this on the board! As a newbie, I had never thought to break a pattern down like that before and it is helpful to be able to look at it that way!

Stitchinbee and Irish Thanks for this information!

Thank you. I haven't made one yet. Seeing your diagram makes it easier to see that it is not that hard.

When I did this a few years back I make my blocks 12 1/2

Thank you. Nice job.

Thanks for sharing. One of these is on my want-to-make-one list! Your chart will make it easier to do.

Thanks so much! I've always loved this pattern, and you make it much more managable! God bless!!! :thumbup:

Thanks a bunch! That's one of my favorite blocks.

Wow! the way you broke this down is real helpful, I am going to make one now. I am going to use this method to make my carousel quilt. Thanks for sharing.

My daughter saw a quilt made from Carpenter Wheel and fell in love with it. Thanks for making it easier for me to make her one.

Thank you so much!! This is great!

Could you please tell us more detailed info such as the cutting info? I love the pattern :thumbup:

Bless your heart!!!

Thank you so much. This will be very helpful.

Thank you. I love the way you made it seem so much easier. I need to make one now for sure.

I have seen this broke down someplace before, but thanks again for the reminder.

Thank you for the chart.

Thank you for your time and sharing with us !!!

Thank you so much....the PDF is very helpful. I want to make a large scale Carpenter's Wheel for my queen-size bed.

Thanks for the quick cheat sheet. I've printed it out. I definitely want to do one of these at some point.

Thanks so very much for putting the Carpenters Wheel/Star Quilt Pattern in PDF format.

How very useful! Thank you so much!

Thank you, very helpful

Thanks so much! I love the notes at the bottom about how many of each hst you need. This is perfect!

Thank you so much for this, I was trying to lay this out on a bed, having trouble keeping all the squares together, and such. I am making one the these as a medallion in a quilt I am making for my husband. Thanks again.

Thank you sooo much for this, it will be so helpful. Just printed it off.

:)

thanks!!!
