    Great tutorial and thank you for showing that the principles are applicable to making Carpenter's Wheel of the size you want. Thank you for your insight.

    I spent a good hour trying to figure out the layout last night, this will be a big help.

Stitchinbee's directions were very helpful.

    I have a friend who's having twin grandkids next year and I think I'll make this again. I may use just one color for the inner star and a different one for the outer star, switching colors for the second quilt.

    Thank you so much. I found a quilt I started 10 years ago. No pattern. I was so confused. Your PDF was exactly what I needed.
