I've come to the conclusion that it's the 3D effect that you can get from working with the diamonds that should be your deciding factor on which of the 3 blocks you go for - if you're not looking for that then the method I used is so much easier! :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-7293931381995068212013-06-12T08:24:25.429-04:002013-06-12T08:24:25.429-04:00You're very welcome, seems these 3 blocks all ...You're very welcome, seems these 3 blocks all give the same end result but made in different ways - you can get more of a 3D effect though when the block is made from diamonds, if you're alternating the colours on each point - I guess that might be a deciding factor in choosing which method to use :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-53560156826042283942013-06-12T08:22:14.088-04:002013-06-12T08:22:14.088-04:00I'm so glad you like it Kimberly, the vintage ...I'm so glad you like it Kimberly, the vintage sheets were darling to work with, soooo soft :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-22043357216435958342013-06-12T08:20:40.005-04:002013-06-12T08:20:40.005-04:00Love her blog :)Love her blog :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-70396546682853469292013-06-12T08:19:48.446-04:002013-06-12T08:19:48.446-04:00I've just had a look at the Carpenter's Wh...I've just had a look at the Carpenter's Wheel block too and you're so right - Elita, in her comment further down the page, says that the Carpenter's Wheel is made purely from diamonds and so is more time consuming to put together well, the pattern I linked to for this block was so easy it seems in comparison! :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-85681963566603967092013-06-11T16:56:06.303-04:002013-06-11T16:56:06.303-04:00Lovely block, sounds like a lot of work though so ...Lovely block, sounds like a lot of work though so maybe I'll put it on the bottom of my must-try list!Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-53818691460652946752013-06-11T06:12:28.396-04:002013-06-11T06:12:28.396-04:00Oh, how lovely!

And for all those interested, a carpenter's wheel is made up primarily of diamond shapes with a Lemoyne Star centre. Similar but more complex than Swoon for sure. I once made a Carpenter's Wheel wallhanging for a friend to match a little cross-stitched Carpenter's Wheel ornament she made for me. Good effect but time consuming to make it right.Elita@Busy Needle Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833568994883621755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-39465911222676755482013-06-10T02:48:42.400-04:002013-06-10T02:48:42.400-04:00I am loving that fabric and the block is just gorg...I am loving that fabric and the block is just gorgeous.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18432721735926623075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-53896504816548146632013-06-10T00:43:39.410-04:002013-06-10T00:43:39.410-04:00Thanks for the shout out!!!!
