I made this small lone star today and didn't want to do the dreaded "y" seams so I just appliqued the star to a piece of purple flower material. Found out what "tapered" stitches are on my sewing machine and figured out how to use it. My first time trying applique and the taper stitches. Very productive and learned some new stuff. I might make a pillow or a wallhanging - will figure it out tomorrow.

very nice love the colours

Beautiful! I love how you appliqued it down :D:D:D

When I do one I want to have your number on speed dial to walk me thru the process! Good Job! :)

That is so pretty. What wonderful colors. I like the idea of appliqueing it to the backing.

Same here :thumbup: :thumbup:

Pretty block. I have never done a Y seam, They scare the tar out of me.

Okay great job U did hand stitch to fix the star together, didn't u?
then appliqued ?
Nice colors :thumbup:

Love the purples and blues together! Very nice!

Very beautiful, great creative to avoid the Y seam, but really not the hard just scary...
