I have to share! I had drawn out a block that I had randomly saw on the computer. Then went to my LQS for ideas how to make this one block an entire quilt. Here's what I am going to be working on. I LOVE IT!

Oh, Forgot to mention that all of the fabric for this.....$26.xx!!!!! This includes the entire top and the binding. Didnd't buy the backing yet. But loving the cost!!! Should have made it a KING! This was $9 a yard fabric-I got it for $4.xx a yard! ;)

this is how the carpenter's wheel is done..it is really one block, but then one day somebody said, HEY, that would make a great quilt..very little cutting, and if you do it Debbie Maddy's way, there are NO "Y" seams either...
I designed a bunch of "big block baby quilts" doing the same thing...what was a 12" block became a 40" baby quilt!
Have fun with it and be sure to post pix!

Have my fabric cut and laying out and am wishing I would have made it larger. How do you think a piano key would look after another brown border or something like this to make it larger....
By the way, overlook the floor. That is to my new bedroom and the floor is unfinished right now. (getting ready to lay carpet-perfect space for laying out fabric. ;) )
These are 5 1/2" unfinished squares. There will be a 2" brown border then a 6 " orange plaid border then the binding will be brown.
