Most of the carpenters wheel/star blocks I have found are made 12 squares wide, 12 squares high. Some are 8 by 8 squares. Is there anything BIGGER out there? Lots bigger???
I have a quilt retreat coming up this weekend. Would it be crazy to do this project there? I want to be able to finish the entire thing.

A double bed is 59" wide, so I would make the center square 45" or so. That's the measurement I used for my parents' double bed. But I made the quilt wide enough for a queen size bed (it almost hangs to the floor on the double bed), so that after my parents are gone, another family member can use the quilt.

carpenter's wheel with borders

To continue the pattern to the edges of a quilt this big resulted in an insanely busy look, so I removed a swath of blocks and made a diamond pattern around the outside edge.
The pdf attachment contains an alternate color, a triangle template and yardage charts for this quilt, which is 101" square. You could make it as large as you want by adding borders.
Hope you like it!
