Lone Star in Progress....
 

I'm putting together this Lone Star to try my hand at hand quilting. Everything is laying nice and flat so far, I've been really careful. I plan the background to be a white-on-white, and haven't completely decided on borders yet. Thanks for looking!

The colors are more "springy" than in the pics, what looks peach is a soft pink, etc.

Being a Texan, the Lone Star is one of my favorites, anyhow. Good job! Mine always pooch in the middle.
Very cheery and happy colors, too!

Very pretty so far! Nice work!

Beautiful..

You are doing a fine job. Since you want a name, how about Texas Spring? (or spring in Bethlehem, since another name for that pattern is the Star of Bethlehem.)

This is so beautiful

How wonderful that spring is coming to the quilt board. It looks good - both in color and workmanship.

Thanks all! QM, I think Texas Spring is a great name.

Toto's Mom - I made one many years ago when I first started quiltmaking - I had a about a D-cup bulge in the middle! I had no idea back then what I had dove into, didn't understand bias or set in seams...lol. Hopefully this time with more knowledge and experience it'll be better!

You are doing a great job. Will you also hand quilt the star?
Colors are so soothing

I love the Lone Star and you have done a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!

Yes, that's the plan, hand quilting. I haven't done much hand quilting, almost none actually, I've always machine quilted. I can't wait to get this one into my hoop/stand. I have been collecting thimbles...;)

very pretty!!! More power to ya!!

nicely done!

Great job! I love the lone star! I have one sitting here to finish. It has problems and I haven't had time to deal with it!

Oh I love the clarification of the colors; looks old fashion to me. Are you doing an unbleached muslin or light color for the background. Oh so pretty ! Please post when finished the background.

Happy quilting ~

That will be beautiful when done!

Beautiful colors and the Texas Star is one of my favorite patterns. I guess since I am a Texan i love it.

Beautiful!! I just watched an old show Fon's & Porters last night and they did a Bethlehem star one. it only had three strips though. maybe one day i'll make one.

Very nice, please share pics when done :)

Beautiful, you have done a wonderful job.

Lovely job. Can't wait to see it finished.

Beautiful!

beautiful!

Very beautiful. Be sure to show it again when you are completely finished.

Can't wait to see the finished project, it's fabulous so far!

I love it - good job

Beautiful!! Lonestar is on my bucket list, although probably not this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
