Dad's blue Carpenter's Star
5 Attachment(s)
When my dad moved into a condo after he sold his house, I realized he was still using the bedspread Mom bought 30 yrs before. It was close to disingrating so , of course, as a quilter, I offered him a quilt! aHEM! He has a KING sized bed. SIGH I have never made a king, even tho I have a long arm that will accommodate one. It took me about a yr and a half ...major long arm tension issues, a fall with ankle problems and no standing. Ankle better and solved the tension problems (bad stand alone winder!) , so it finally became the primary project. WHEW! Its finished and is happily settled onto its new bed! Dad loves it! Thanks for looking! (PS it is all HST. I believe they are 10 inches finshed.)

Love it. It's beautiful.

Great job on your labor of love. Did you take a pattern and adjust to fit, or was the pattern complete ? I have always wanted to make a Carpenter's Star quilt, but the patterns I looked at seemed too short for an adult's bed.

Beautiful.

Gorgeous quilt, great colors! The quilting is exquisite, too. I am sure your Dad loves it.
Thinking of making the same quilt with different colors, but queen size. What size triangles did you use for the star? |
Wow! That is very impressive. I bet he loves it.
