After being unable to find a simple reference sheet for the Carpenters Wheel quilt, I decided to make my own. I hope others will find this useful. I have included an image and a pdf file, if you prefer. Enjoy. :D
*** Please Note: I did not included any measurements so that you may make the quilt (or other item) any size that works for you. :D Carpenters Wheel / Star Project Reference Sheet JPG Format [ATTACH=CONFIG]255790[/ATTACH] Carpenters Wheel / Star Project Reference Sheet PDF Format [ATTACH=CONFIG]255791[/ATTACH] |
Thank you. What size are the blocks?

The blocks are whatever size you want. My 48" one started with 6.5" blocks, which means I cut the ones for the HSTs 7.5". Could have been a shade less, but I wanted even half inches.
http://www.quiltfrog.com/fourhour.html BTW, 4 hours is a very liberal estimate. Mine might have taken less time if I had used only two colors, but I used eight. Stitchinbee, that's a helpful mockup. I wish I'd had it a few weeks ago. |
If you want a 12 1/2 inch block, make all of your squares or HST 2"
|
Thank you.
|
Thanks for the useful info. Sure does save time on my part. :thumbup:
|
Thanks
|
thank you for taking the time to do that. i hope to make one some day.
|
When I was a 'newbie' I had a moderately difficult time piecing each piece individually, without realising it could be broken into hst parts.Your diagram makes it clear to beginners and experienced alike, how one can analyse the blocks.Many thanks.
|
Thanks. I have wanted to make a Carpenter's Wheel. Now, maybe I will.
|
Thanks
|
As one bee to another: Thank you for putting this on the board! As a newbie, I had never thought to break a pattern down like that before and it is helpful to be able to look at it that way!
|
Stitchinbee and Irish Thanks for this information!
|
Thank you. I haven't made one yet. Seeing your diagram makes it easier to see that it is not that hard.
|
When I did this a few years back I make my blocks 12 1/2
|
Thank you. Nice job.
|
Thanks for sharing. One of these is on my want-to-make-one list! Your chart will make it easier to do.
|
Thanks so much! I've always loved this pattern, and you make it much more managable! God bless!!! :thumbup:
|
Thanks a bunch! That's one of my favorite blocks.
|
Wow! the way you broke this down is real helpful, I am going to make one now. I am going to use this method to make my carousel quilt. Thanks for sharing.
|
My daughter saw a quilt made from Carpenter Wheel and fell in love with it. Thanks for making it easier for me to make her one.
|
Thank you so much!! This is great!

Thanks so much! I love the notes at the bottom about how many of each hst you need. This is perfect!
|
Thank you so much for this, I was trying to lay this out on a bed, having trouble keeping all the squares together, and such. I am making one the these as a medallion in a quilt I am making for my husband. Thanks again.
