Someone just posted a Carpenter's Star yesterday and I copied it off the link on that post. It supposed to take only 4-5 hours to make the top. I LOVE THAT IDEA!
Let's see if I can find the link.

Location: Cadillac, MI http://www.quiltfrog.com/fourhour.html Gives basic directions and sizes. L's is 72" square - the center is 48" with two borders. My squares were 6" so the cream batik was cut 6 1/2 and the squares for the HSTs 7 1/2. I prefer the cutdown method. I bought 1 1/4 yards of the cream (I have some left) and as little as 1/4 yard of some of the batiks and 1/2 yard of some. Some came from my stash, so I can't say exactly. Using eight fabrics instead two as pictured on the site makes it more interesting to put together. Use the design board and alternate your lights and darks. Recently stitchinbee posted a EQ chart in tutorials that would be helpful. I wish I'd had it sooner so I could have printed and colored it.
