Thank you very much Rhonda! I'd appreciate it. Don't you think a baby Carpenter's Star would be just awesome?!? Have you made things with those kind of seams with the minis? I'm just full of ideas now.

LOL I have to admit I have to look up what a Carpenter's star looks like! I get in a rut sometimes and use the same designs alot !! If it is the one I am thinking of I am sure it works just fine!

I sent Admin (Konstantin) a pm asking for his pdf file of it so hopefully he is better organized than I am and has the file.

Here is the link to my Carpenter's Star quilt that I made. That'll show you what the quilt looks like, thus the block. I have posted the pattern too, due to so many people asking for it. Here's the link. Thank you for checking on that pdf too!

Well,I just finished making my mini block into a keychain! It's so cute! Everybody should try this! It is so fun and it doesn't take very long to make one. It's a great way to use up those little scraps and they are so cute!! It's a wonderful way to take a break when you're tired of what you're doing! (Whether that's quilting or cleaning house!)

Here are some pictures of the chain piecing process, only because they looked so cute being so tiny! And here's my keychain! Everybody should make one at least and see if you don't agree that it is so fun to do. Post your pictures here too so I can see them along with everyone else! I am sure that Rhonda would appreciate seeing what every one is making with her templates too! Enjoy and thanks for looking!

BTW, I used the 1 1/2" template for these.

My chained pieces and some half square triangles
