About This Tutorial

Finished Size: 83" x 83"

Jenny Doan demonstrates how to make an easy version of the classic Carpenter Star quilt block using 10 inch squares of precut fabric (layer cakes). For this project, Jenny chose an Abby Rose Layer Cake by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics. This traditional quilt is also known as the Star of Bethlehem and Carpenter's Star. It is often made with squares and diamonds, but Jenny does it with half square triangles because they're so quick and easy to make and don't require y-seams!
