Thank you for doing the tutorial WITH pictures, want to make some gift quilts and this will be perfect.

This is one design I have used several times. It's generally a hit for my foster kids' quilts. I also do other "big block quilts', such as friendship stars. It's also great for wheel chair quilts. There are a number of blocks that lend themselves to this sort of single block quilt, for example, Dutchman's puzzle. I have used it with novelty fabrics for kids and 'grown up' fabrics for bigger folks.

That is exactly what I thought when I saw this top - I am just recently beginning to quilt and just want to do the small lapquilts (wheel chair) for nursing home donations - so I will give this a try. Thanks for the tutorial and thanks MadQuilter for the inspiration!

Thank You so much for a wonderful Tutorial and sharing some ideas, your Star looks so great. The most love pattern.

I just got my top done of this star. What quilting design would work for this? I am using my DSM. I don't want the center of the star to be mashed down.

I made a quilt using this tutorial but it's just a flimsy right now, so easy to do, wish I could upload pictures here to show it, I'm pretty proud of myself for doing it. Maybe I'll figure out how to post pictures once it's completely done.
