Hi cminor! Thank you! I love this block too. It's a Carpenter's Star. It is fairly simple to make being all squares and half squares. I had so many people interested in the pattern that I posted it on here. Here is the link if you'd care to make one.

Thanks,

you did good! it's so pretty!

Wow! Beautiful job! Loved looking at the pictures. Do you know where I might purchase the pattern? I keep trying to see how it is quilted, but can't tell. Did you stitch in the ditch around all those pieces?

Hi Bobbie! Thank you very much for the compliment. I made this pattern and so many people requested it that I put it on here. Here's the link to it.

It's gorgeous! You did a great job.

Oh Bobbie, I forgot to tell you that it is all hand-tied with color coordinated embroidery thread. My daughter wanted it tied, but wanted the ties on each block to match each block. I put 25 ties on each of the 56 blocks! That's alot of ties! I used 72 different colors in different combinations to tie it.

AHHH - just beautiful!!!

OK now I got it, tie each block, I was going crazy wondering how I was gonna hand quilt each little piece, I even enlarged the pattern to a 24 inch block so I could hand quilt. LOL Thanks Brenda

WOW You should be very proud! That is gorfeous!!!
