Blowing up blocks
I love blowing up star blocks to make a quick quilt! The first one I’d ever done was years ago from a Fons and Porter magazine. Terri’s been quilting a Carpenter’s Star on her site that inspired me to play with my own version for a quick donation quilt.

Mary, Thelma from Cupcakes ‘n Daisies made a star quilt last year which I think is gorgeous. Today I have been cutting out fabric for Double Duty by Carrie Nelson for my son’s 21st later this year and was thinking of
Thelma’s star quilt as I would like to do it in a wall hanging in the same fabric as his quilt so they match. Here is the link if you are interested:

I love it! Perfect for a quick quilt!
Ooo! I like the borders you put on that! Lovely!
What a FANTASTIC idea for a quick quilt! Gotta remember this idea….
I love blowing up the Carpenter Star. I give them away as baby blankets to my husbands coworkers as the occasions arise. Your border to make the blanket rectangular is a great idea. I may borrow that one, if you don’t mind.
Oh my Gosh! Look at Caleb!
That looks so complex, yet I can see that most is done with Half-sq triangles – clever
Wow…I was honestly doing the exact same thing (upscaling and Carpenter’s Star) on the same day. Great minds think alike?!?
