You can also go to YouTube!
Check out Calico Carriage - they have some wonderful patterns including a lone star. Hers are all done with half square triangles so you don't have any set in seams.
I have never made a lone star block but here is an interesting web site you might want to look at: http://sandandsunshine.blogspot.ca/2...tar-trick.html
I have done the google and videos and not found one suitable .

I'm confused. You want an easy 8-point lone star, and Kaye has one, but it has 8 points, and you want to do it with 8 points? What is the problem?
Sorry Dunster I meant Kaye has a pattern but 6 points. It is a lovely pattern but I want 8 .Originally Posted by dunster

Have you looked at EB Quilt in a Day?? I have yet to find all my quilting books since my move 3 months ago. I made my first Lone Star using her book. There is also a company that prints a lone star on the lightweight interfacing that I have heard makes piecing easier but I never tried it. You have to be able to sew a constant 1/4" seam so when you do the diagonal cuts, the points will match. Good Luck !!
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Try Fairfield Batting web site. They have a free star with 8 points. Not to hard & no y seams
