Rustic Carpenter's Star/Wheel
 

This one was finished up before Christmas, as my gift in my "adopted" family exchange/swap. There is always a theme, and for the second year, it was "something I made". My goodness what hidden talents we discovered both years!!

To make something quilty, was given for me ... but what??? Not knowing who would be the recipient called for a somewhat generic item choice. Likewise for colours/fabrics. I decided a simple natural colour palette would be a "safe" choice for most of the group. With the squares finishing at 3", I felt it would be practical as a table topper or a wall hanging, offering to add a hanging sleeve, should it be of interest.

Thank you for looking!!
(and thanks to my QB friend who kindly reminded me that I had yet to post this!)

That's a very handsome wall hanging. I like the bronze-y brown-y fabrics.

Great wall hanging/table topper! I'm not a brown person but I love the design :) Your FMQ is looking good!

Beautiful QuiltE, another winner for you

Oh Oooooooooooooh ... I see that I have a double pic in there.
And now to late to take it out.
So Sorry!!!!

Awwwwwwwww thanks, Ladies!

I wish I had some better pics of it. The fabric had a nice sheen to it.
Both the rust and the background cream fabrics were Stonehenge.
The rust had a little bit of bling.
The print was just one that was in "inventory"!
And yes ... all came from my stash!!! :)

me quilt and quilting and love the earthtones

Beautiful in those colors. Carpenter's square is one of my favorite patterns.

nice.................................

Thanks DebCavan ... I can see why it is a favourite. I have only made two in my sewing life. The first was one of the first things I made when I started quilting. I tend not to re-make things, but I can also see its merit in being a nice give-away. For those who do not have quilts, it really is an attractive pattern that most really do like.

Lucky recipient. It's beautiful. Too pretty to cover up as a table topper, IMO.
I'll have to add that pattern to my very large quilting bucket list. :)
