This was so hard to do...it was fun but it was very difficult. I did it using a strip-piecing method but each of the little diamonds was half an inch! It's definitely not perfect but I'm still proud of my attempt and I like my quilts to have a home-made look...this one definitely has that :D

That is such a hard quilt to make...and with such little pieces...WOW!! You are a brave gal...so pat yourself on the back! I would like to know where you found the pattern for the smaller version of the lonestar? I only have the larger version, and would like to try the smaller one...not sure I will be as brave as you, tho.. I also love the home-made look...thankfully for me, too!!

I love doing mini's, but I don't think I'd be as brave as you to do this small of a lone star! Great job!
