When I was making Shawna's quilt, I ordered some material off the internet. When I got it, I sent the woman a picture of the quilt I was making with it and she hired me to make one for her and her daughter to cuddle with and watch TV. Here's some pictures of her "throw" and the pillow I made for her daughter, who's favorite colors are pink and purple. I made the throw 72" x 85" so it would be plenty big for 2 people. It took me a month to make and tie it.

looks like small carpenter stars .............lovely !!

That's pretty!

Beautiful quilt!!!

Absolutely wonderful quilt. You did a phenomenal job on it.

Totally awesome! :thumbup: :thumbup:

That is so pretty. I can see why she wanted you to make her one.

Very beautiful!

Love the pattern and fabrics. Great job.

awesome, great looking quilt and pillow

Very beautiful!!

beautifull job, and I love the colours you chose as well

Pretty!! What is the name of the block?

Those are just beautiful. Love the pattern and your choice of fabrics.

Both are absolutely gorgeous and you did a good job and points are perfect. Good for you.

Thank you! This is a Carpenter's Star block. It is 12". I made the pattern after seeing a picture of one and not being able to find a pattern for it anywhere.

Very pretty. Nice work. :thumbup:

That is so pretty! Looks like that block might be your specialty. Do you happen to know where one might get the pattern? :-)

Did you try www.quilterscache.com? Hope this is right.

I found Carpenter's Wheel on Quilts Galore.

Beautiful job!! I love the colours and the backing colour goes perfectly with it! The pillow looks wonderful!
For not having a pattern you did fantastic... I could never do that ..

Marilyn, your beautiful work just blows me away! I've absolutely loved everything you've shown us.

Hi! There is a Carpenter's Wheel pattern but it is not the same as the one I made. Let me know if you would like a copy of the pattern that I made.

Hi everyone and thank you so very much for all the positive feedback and compliments. I have received a lot of requests for the pattern that I made. I am going to post it so watch for it if you were interested.

Absolutely beautiful, and love your choice of colors, I really like the pillow too. GREAT JOB!!!

oooopha! That is just fantastic!!
I can see why she asked you to make her one!!
You still in the making mode lol

Please post a link to your pattern when you post it here. I'm sure we'd all love to see it. Simply beautiful!

Fabulous!! I love that pattern. :-D It's all squares and half-square triangles, yes?

Of course! This is my favorite block. I think it's the most beautiful and elegant block that I've ever seen! Did you see the quilt that I made my daughter Shawna? It's posted under "The very best quilt that I ever made--I'm so proud of it" or something like that. Thank you for your compliments.

I will gladly post a link if you tell me how. I posted the pattern under "Pictures" and it's called, "My Carpenter's Star Pattern".

Yes, it is. And it's very simple but time consuming to make.

You were wonderful enough to post your pattern, which is in tutorials, I have no problem giving you directions to post a link. It will come in really handy when you respond on this board anyway. Lots of threads are linked into responses.

What you do is have the link you want to post open. Go to the address bar at the top of the screen and copy it. Go to the window you are responding in and paste it. Some people prefer to have two different windows open to do it, others tabs, and some just one site at a time. Whatever you are comfy with.

Here is your pattern:
