Joy I'm so far behind on videos it's just crazy. I haven't ever made a Carpenters Wheel but have made a Cranberry Cupboard pattern 'Kaleidoscope' that is a large block quilt that goes together similar. Your batik layer cakes are so pretty! I'm on a mission to try to sew-down my stash a bit so I'll join in after shopping my stash. Thank you for all that hard work you did setting up and filming the size differences.
You are a delight to listen to! Kudos to mentioning all the different quilting companies. I've subscribed and will be looking back on your other videos!
Love the fall colors you selected. I am going to make a quilt with you. I love the blues in your Blues for Jeff quilt. I probably will do the blues. Thanks for helping us. You are a wonderful teacher❤️
Dear Joy, I just wanted to say hello. I’ve missed a few of your videos and it feels like it’s been forever. My housekeeper/caregiver has COVID-19. She’s been off work for 3 weeks and won’t be back for 2-? how long. Her whole family got it at the same time. We’ve been blessed not to get it. We did have to break down and get the vaccine though. We weren’t because of the garbage in it. I’m trusting God to keep us safe. I got mine yesterday. I just wanted to say hi and as usual I write a book . I love you. Your in our prayers. My little Cami loves praying for you and your family. She’s 8 and has so much faith. So, blessings to you and your family, Lizzy
Thank you Lizzy. So sorry you had to get the vaccine. Hope you have none of the awful side effects. How nice to have a housekeeper! You are blessed. Hugs to your sweet CAmi.
Love your scrappy star you showed. I'm laughing about your emphasizing 'easy.' I made one last year with Christmas fabrics. I can't remember how many times I took it apart ,because I'd made a mistake in my row counts, or had the row upside down, or out of order, or whatever, etc. Thought I was going to wear out the fabric first. Yes, the stitching is easy. Keeping track of the rows and where they go, seemed to challenge me, for who knows why. Even though I checked and rechecked before I re-stitched the rows, I still had something goofed up. Thought I'd never get it completed, correctly. LOL.
I have a book titled Grandma's Best Full-Size Quilt Blocks and the author calls this block the Mosaic Star and I was having a terrible time finding a tutorial using that name until I stumbled across a quilters thread of someone correcting another person on the title actually being the Carpenter's Wheel block just in case anyone else is also on a similar goose chase!
Hi Joy, I’ll be joining you! I’m making 5 Carpenters Star quilts for gift quilts for 5 gals. They’re all Queen and Cal king sized. I’ve made the huge mistake of asking all of them their favorite color or colors. So 1 is Burgundy and forest green with a cream background. 1 is scrappy pinks and white background. 1 is scrappy purples with black background and I may throw in some lime and turquoise. 1 is scrappy blues and white background and the last one is royal blue and white and on that one I can’t decide if I want the royal blue to be the star or the background. All of them are going to be the double star and creative borders.
It's a little different in the center medallion square. Carpenter's Star/Wheel uses a Lemoyne star whereas the Mode Love pattern uses a sawtooth star center.
A Quarter Square Triangle is still a square - it has 4 triangles in it, so it's an additional piecing step beyond what it takes to make a Half Square Triangle. Your insert only shows half of the QST block. If it's done with two colors it will look like an hourglass. When done with four colors it will look like four triangles "pointing" to the center of the square block. Think of it this way - in a HST, each triangle is HALF of the square. In a QST, each triangle is a QUARTER of the square. Hope this helps.
Well I'm a bit behind here and your shine channel, I'm going at my own pace I've got to leave this situation but I'm so exhausted but I know with the help of the world's greatest carpenter I know I can shine eventually it's going to take a bit I'm not where I was nor do I plan to go back A few weeks ago I got to enjoy the Carter family they've dedicated their lives with serving someone awesomely at a new church I'd been attending be on the lookout for them they're totally dedicated they live in a Class B RV traveling everywhere if you see them performing take a moment and attend
Oh Joy, you cannot make 4 half square triangles from the 10 inch square. You end up with quarter square triangles which end up with bias on the outside and you can never make a straight sided quilt and it will be impossible to sew together. There is a simple formula to make quarter and half sided triangle squares. Add 7/8” to finished CUT size for half triangle square and 1 1/4” for a quarter triangle square.
Evidently, Jenny Doan doesn't agree with that. She is the one I saw do it. She made several quilts using that method. You can watch "Half Square Triangle Quilt Using the Four Seasons Block" on TH-cam and see it.
Of course you can. Yes, the edges are biased but I’ve made many many quilts using this same method and I’ve never ever had an issue. They’ve all turned out beautiful. And, if Jenny Doan says it works then there’s no question it’ll work. 😉
You are amazing, just amazing. Ive learned so much from you. Thank you.
Going to do this with you.Glad to have someone to sew with!
Me too
Me too! I am eagerly waiting. It's going to be fun working with every one. When do we start?
I’ve been admiring that quilt, glad you are showing us how!❤️
I love layer cakes! They are my favorites of all the precuts. I have always wanted to make this quilt. I think maybe now is the time. 😉
Of all the videos you've made, this is my favorite one so far. I want to learn as much as I can. You are so very helpful. THANK YOU.
Your quilt came out beautiful.
So fun! I love your fabric choices! And, I agree with some of the other comments - you are a great teacher! As you learn, I learn!
You are so good to help us out. Thank you very much

Thank you Joy! I may just try a quilt with you💖🍁🌿🍂
Thank you Joy. I love your Blue for Jeffrey. I have never made a quilt before.
I have a couple of these in my to do pile. One will be baby size and the other will be Queen. These are fun. One block and soooo many patterns.

Wow Jennie! I would love to see them all. My email is bernhardtjm50@gmail.com if you get a chance to snap a photo.
I’ll be joining you!
Hello do we cut the half squares triangles out .if we're doing are own fabric how much will we need
You will have to decide how much you need. Watch Jenny or Donna and see what they say. Depends on how big your quilt is going to be.
We're do I find jenny or donna?
Thanks Joy ! Will plan to do this. Always thought would be much harder than you make it. If buying yardage how do you figure this out ?
Is the Carpenter Star/Wheel the same as the Moda Love pattern?
It's a little different in the center medallion square. Carpenter's Star/Wheel uses a Lemoyne star whereas the Mode Love pattern uses a sawtooth star center.
Karen Brown Just Get It Done Quilts has a video called something like 10 ways to make HSTs. She covers all these methods plus 7 more.
And thanks for the websites for the quilt variations do you have to have a long arm?
No. You can quilt by hand. You can quilt with a sewing machine. You can send it off to be quillted.
You are looking really thin. Love your channels and am amazed at your enthusiasm and energy.
Thank you Joy you should have been a teacher.

I’m so lost with quilting 🤷♀️.

Evidently, Jenny Doan doesn't agree with that. She is the one I saw do it. She made several quilts using that method. You can watch "Half Square Triangle Quilt Using the Four Seasons Block" on TH-cam and see it.
Jenny also cuts EIGHT half square triangles and makes a quilt called Tranquil Triangles. You can see it on TH-cam.
@@Joy4650B Eight works just not 4.
@@neda2820 Jenny made a great quilt doing 4. I don't understand why you think it won't work. You can watch her video.
Of course you can. Yes, the edges are biased but I’ve made many many quilts using this same method and I’ve never ever had an issue. They’ve all turned out beautiful. And, if Jenny Doan says it works then there’s no question it’ll work. 😉
