I bought this batik years ago waiting for the perfect pattern. Then we had a group project at a retreat. I saw the borders on a post either here or on pintrest.[ATTACH=CONFIG]545688[/ATTACH]

such beautiful fabrics for the star and wonderful borders too.
Love the crisp clean line and perfect triangles.

Ooo--love that border.

Just gorgeous! Very unique border - it really frames the star nicely.

Besides your precision and dramatic use of colors/fabrics, I am drawn to your exce3llent border. Brilliant!

Drop dead gorgeous! That border elevates the Carpenter's Star into stunning.

Wonderful and love the border!!

I really love those borders. It sets off the carpenters wheel beautifully. Wish I had seen them 35 years ago when I made the carpenters star that is hung over our mantel every Christmas season..lol.

Stunning. BrendaK

Spectacular quilt! The border is such a perfect complement to the Carpenter's Star. Too often a border competes with the center of a quilt. Yours is a stunning balance.

ManiacQuilter2 03-23-2016 03:36 AM

The fabric you picked makes this quilt absolutely stunning. Job well done!

GemState 03-23-2016 04:33 AM

Beautiful, beautiful!

Cotton Mama 03-23-2016 04:43 AM

That is really sharp looking, and the borders give it an extra pow. Beautiful!

Trapunta 03-23-2016 06:37 AM

Wow, just beautiful.

Snooze2978 03-23-2016 09:43 AM

I like your border treatment. Adds interest without taking away from the center star. Nice work.

Jingle 03-23-2016 11:34 AM

It is gorgeous. Wonderful work.

busy fingers 03-23-2016 12:09 PM

Gorgeous quilt. I love looking at it and seeing all the different "illusions" that I can see.

NIICHMOM 03-23-2016 12:13 PM

The Carpenter Star is my favorite of all, but you have captured it to be a Beauty

cathyvv 03-23-2016 12:15 PM

Love it! Red is my favorite color, too. Can you tell me how big it is?

cjsews 03-23-2016 12:33 PM

Cathyvv I made the HSTs finish at 6 inches. With borders it is 80" square. The batik does not show well but it has swirling Christmas trees on it
