So i'm thinking, lol, why not a lonestar quilt, what is to stop me? lol Other than fear!!!!! LOL LOL LOL So i'm thinking why not? I must be bored, cus i have other projects i havent finished, but oh well :) So i've decided i can strip-piece a lonestar, simple lol, maybe? lol Course i can do it.

Here is my question, if you were going to strip-piece a lone star, what width, unfinished width, of strips do you think you would use? I just don't know what's a good size, 2 1/2? or something smaller? :) :) :)

I don't know what size strips Bab, but I applaud you. Have always wanted to try one, just haven't had the nerve. Good for you!

Mine was 2 1/2" be sure to STARCH heavy before cutting your angles....that helped me the most...good luck...:-)

Yup, just did all my estimations on paper lol, wonder if they're right though? lol guess i'll find out.

4 colours, pale green, peach, tan, and peach floral
8 strips of each colour, 2 1/2 x 14 maybe? lol guess i'll find out :)
