Earlier, I posted a pic of a carpenters wheel that I made. It could have been 24" or 12", but I erred and made one that was 16". So, I continued to make 16" blocks. Thanks to a member of the quilting board, I received directions on how to make at 72" star. Haven't finished it yet, but it is now 36". Now what? Should I finish the 72" for a quilt top? Add the smaller 16" ones on the front? Use the smaller ones for a new quilt? They are all various shades of blues and browns. Thanks for looking & thanks for your guidance!

Your squares are really outstanding. They are wonderful. Makes me jealous, I don't think I could do that particular square.
