Southwest Carpenters Star

Original Pattern by Ideal Stitches!  I wrote this pattern a few years ago and used it in class.  The color choices on this quilt are incredible!  The rust and turquoise give it a traditional New Mexico feel.  The client wanted to use the quilt in the fall and loved the falling leaves pattern.  I prefer to have my edge to edge be subtle on the front of a quilt and let the colors and piecing take center stage, and if the backing allows have the quilting pop on the back with a contrasting thread!  I wish the photo of the back would have turned out.  Sometimes the photography is more challenging than the quilting!
