Can we see the whole quilt?

My avatar is called "Carpenter's Wheel"
It is sixteen inches square. It was inspired by a quilt block my son in law selected for a quilt more than ten years ago.
It happened that I joined a round robin on this board, and decided that it was time for Aaron to get his quilt.
The colors were also from a paisley shirt that he loves, and the background is pine wood grain or is it oak <g> ... at any rate, it fits him since he started his working career as a carpenter, the block is carpenter's wheel and ... I am very anxious to see what happens to it over the next ten months or so.
Thank you for the compliment.

Wvdek The Boston Blocks are one of my shortcuts. I wrote an Ebook on it and have 2 more EBooks with a new one coming out probably next week.
Here are my links you can check out. The Bookmark tutorial is free and it has the directions for making the Bostons. The EBook then has more info on making these into quilt blocks that you can use to make quilts or small projects
I also did a star point block which you can see in the free tutorial for making a mouse pad.
My avatar is made with the new block that is a Wings Block. It is in the new Ebook coming out. BTW the curves in my avatar are an optical illusion. There are no curved piecings.
You can also find more info on my BitsnPieces Workshop web site. It is a free teaching site.
I offer free templates if you are interested. No postage needed just send me your postal address as these are hard acrylic templates and need to go through the snail mail. I have a 1 1/2" and a 1 1/4" acrylic and a Dresden Kaleidoscope template. I am also offering a 2 1/2" and a scored 3" template for the new ebook.
If you haven't seen these here are my links for the info I have available:
