I'll PM you as well.

I used plain old copy paper, and while it's OK to use for most paper piecing projects ... I recommend something much thinner than that for the Mini Lonestar. The reason is that you paper piece each diamond in a row going across, and there is a space in between each row. Then you fold the paper in-between each row to sew the rows together and it's at this step that the thickness of the paper makes it difficult to get a good tight fold. Without that tight fold you lose the points on the diamonds. Also ... after piecing it's much easier to rip out something thinner than copy paper and these were teeny tiny pieces. You have the pieces for each diamond, and the pieces in the "fold" as well. Gave my tweezers a workout!!

Beautiful star quilt. That border fabric is perfect.

Simply beautiful. Your choice of border compliments your lovely work. How big is the Lone Star by itself? You are very adept at paper piecing. Belles

Wow! You did a magnificent job and what you did with the border fabric is spectacular! I just bought the same book and did my first lone star with the 3 row 3/4" pattern, something I never would have been able to do successfully before. I love how yours turned out and how you artistically blended out your blue center. Kudos to you!

I stand amazed! Ok, I sit amazed but I most definitely am amazed. Smiles. I don' t think I would trim it either. It's perfect the way it is. What a beautiful quilt.
