I was able to get this QOV quilt finished this week while working on a few other tops. I love that it has the look of being 3 dimensional.
JudyL and Mary both have tutorials on making Carpenter Star quilts. I made my blocks a bit larger (8 inch finished), used two colors for the star and put on a piano border on instead of triangles. Super fast top to piece.

My goals for 2012 are simple~
1 - make one QOV each month.
2 - make one quilt for Ronald McDonald's House each month
3 - finish one already started quilt each month (have about 20 of these, some more than 3 years old)
4 - if I complete the above 3 goals each month I can start one new quilt
1
Need to work on #3 a bit more so I won't feel too guilty when I do #4.
