I fell in love with a quilt designed by my friend Jamie Mueller, visit her blog at Sunflower Seeds or her website at Sunflower Quilts to see some of her amazing quilts and buy her patterns. The quilt was originally named "Master Carpenter's Square". Because I wanted to make a miniature, and if you know me, you know I never follow directions, I changed the quilt somewhat..... and now I'm making my quilt "Jamie's Carpenter Squared".
The original pattern was made with Charm Squares (5"). Miniaturized would have been 6.5" x 6.5", way too small for me. Sooooo, I added lots of rows, and rows, and rows. It is now 48 rows by 48 rows, and will measure 24"x24", Although I am throwing in some larger solid pieces for negative space. Or at least that's the plan!
