It's beautiful, it's nice when you make something and DH wants it because it looks so nice.

I love all quilts with a star in them. This is no exception! Good job.

Mine is a queen sized bed spread. I started with 10" blocks and after making the half square triangles and squaring them all, they came out to 9" blocks.

Another stunner! (and I'll be happy to have a slice of what's in that pan!)

Mariposa 09-25-2011 11:07 AM

Lovely quilt!

Honey 09-25-2011 11:07 AM

Thank you all for your kind comments and encouragement. I am going to give it to DH because he is so supportive of my quilting. He is always willing to do chores and cooking so that I can sew. He's such a sweetheart.

Lady Jane 09-25-2011 11:18 AM

That is very nice!! Say did I see cake?

Nanaquilts44 09-25-2011 11:19 AM

It is so pretty. I think DH should get it!

Honey 09-25-2011 12:30 PM

I started out with 10" blocks, that is why it is so big. Then I ended up squaring to 9".

Taughtby Grandma 09-25-2011 01:26 PM

WOW, very nice!

Bonnie 09-25-2011 01:58 PM

Beautiful....I just finished up the top for the carpenters star. Sure is something about them that draws your eye to them. Can't wait to get it sandwiched and start quilting on it.

peppermint31 09-25-2011 03:44 PM

I also started a carpenters star a couple months ago. It is on my "to finish" list b4 the end of this year!

Fabriholic 09-25-2011 04:03 PM

Wouldn't you like something awesome and made with love? I know I would and bet you would, too. So I don't think you have any choice but to give it to him ... yes? Color combinations are great!
