    That’s beautiful but that picture is not the same pattern – it’s not made of half square triangles. The pattern is but the picture is different from the pattern.

    That’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Just when I think I’m tired of making star quilts…

    That’s really anazing with your shading. Very 3D. It does not seem to be the same pattern though as the link. Your amazing shaded one has the points in two shades. Please can you tell me how to calculate to do that, or share the pattern. Thank you.
    I’m just loving Jinny Beyer shaded fabrics now and they would be perfect for this.

    Beautiful. What size are the white colored squares, how big. Is it in the pattern part?

    It is incredibly frustrating that the pattern in the link does not match the picture, and very sad that this has not been acknowledged and/or rectified since it was highlighted over 6 months ago.

    Vicky, you may want to check the link again as it is accurate.

    Hi Shellie, I have tried again, and the pdf that I get, whilst it is for a carpenters star, does not show how to achieve the effect in the quilt in the picture, which looks as though it is created in a way that does not use half square triangles.

    I agree the picture is not made with half square triangles. It is an equilateral triangle. Does anyone have the pattern for the picture? The half square pdf is very similar but it is not the same.

    I would SO love to have a pattern to do this shaded rainbow carpenter star quilt! I don’t quite see how to achieve that with the pattern I printed from the pdf. Could you please help me with this soon?

    I was emailed and asked about this pattern … the link shared above is to a free pattern on my website and is not constructed like this quilt.

    This quilt was constructed from split diamonds … not half square triangles as I made mine. A google search for carpenter Star using split diamonds came up with this link …

    It appears that the quilt is in a book by Jan Krentz according to the page at the link above.
