Thank you. Brings back memories of a quilting friend. She taught me that pattern and I made many. May just have to do some more!

I made a quilt using this tutorial but it's just a flimsy right now, so easy to do, wish I could upload pictures here to show it, I'm pretty proud of myself for doing it. Maybe I'll figure out how to post pictures once it's completely done.

I always copy & paste into Microsoft Word.

Anyone have some tips for beginner quilting of this wonderful Big Star. I'm semi good at SID but TERRIBLE at FMG on my Janome 6600, thanks in advance for any help.

First time I saw this. Thanks! I was going to whip a couple of Christmas quilts for my GS's and I believe this will be it!

I love this star block because you can make it any size. I made the big blocks for my avatar quilt with 10" squares, then I did the small star blocks with 5" square blocks. I pieced small stars on the back of this quilt. It was fun to put together. I'm planning to make a red, white, and blue star to use as a patriotic front door decoration for the patriotic holidays.

How about just echo qui
lting along each seam line?

nanacc 02-24-2015 05:09 PM

Great one! I did mine with 12 in blocks. Sorry can't find pic on new Mac.

Isn't there a "you tube" video on making the "Carpenter Star". Am thinking you need 3 fabrics (total of 6 squares
or 2 of each fabric). This makes a quick, large block.

patmadrid 02-28-2015 07:32 AM

This is a great pattern

matraina 05-30-2015 04:49 PM

Love your quilt - and the colors.

faylinn 06-03-2015 08:54 PM

tammyg 06-09-2015 06:30 AM
