Stunning. Sometime a fabric just has to wait till the right project comes along and this beauty is proof of that. Love the border.
peace

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. Great piecing and quilting.

cjsews 03-24-2016 06:04 AM

Vcquan. I drew out the border from a picture. The larger part is 3 inch HSTS. The smaller part is 4 patch with 1 1/2 inch HSTS This is based on my squares being 6 inch for my star

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...can't say it enough. Your design is most impressive. I love it!

Carpenter's Star is one of my favourite quilt patterns & yours is gorgeous !! So striking & what wonderful work. You should be so proud, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

fxtrtr 03-24-2016 02:44 PM

Lovely! Love the colors and the pattern. Such wonderful work, you should be so proud!

Quiltaddict 03-24-2016 03:13 PM

Nice quilt but I really love the borders. They make the large center star much more appealing to the eye

Tweety2911 03-24-2016 04:19 PM

Ditto here too. Gorgeous quilt and outstanding border!

Trish 03-24-2016 04:43 PM

Can you share the pattern for the carpenters star center and borders?

cjsews 03-24-2016 05:59 PM

Thanks for all the wonderful comments

Trish, the pattern for the star is in the tutorial section. As for the border, the larger HSTs are 1/2 the block. Then make the little HSTs into 4 patch blocks with the HSTs 1/2 the size of the larger HSTs. Hope that makes sense for you

ccthomas 03-24-2016 07:01 PM

Nice Carpenter Star and borders.

JenelTX 03-24-2016 07:23 PM

You did, indeed, find the perfect pattern. That is BEAUTIFUL!!! Well done! The border is charming.

bbeyes 03-25-2016 09:05 AM

Love the quilt but think the borders are really marvelous. Was it hard to put together

Trish 03-25-2016 04:54 PM

I found the tutorial. What size are the inner blocks? Thanks so much....Trish

Melspoon 03-25-2016 04:56 PM

The boarder is a perfect accent for the centerpiece. LOVELY!

cjsews 03-25-2016 05:32 PM

Trish you can use whatever size you like. I used a 6 in finished block for the center. For the borders the larger HSTs are half the block size. The little HSTs are half of that. Good luck on your quilt and I look forward to seeing it done

red-warrior 03-26-2016 05:18 AM

Gorgeous quilt and the border makes it so special!

Sneed 03-26-2016 07:33 AM

Outstanding! The border is a really nice on. I had to get out my graph paper for this one. Thanks for posting.

RedGarnet222 03-26-2016 08:00 AM

I love how you echoed the star into the border. It sure turned out wonderful.
