Here is my lonestar quilt. Pattern is also known as Star of Bethlehem. It was machine pieced using the stips then the sewn strips were cut at a 45 degree angle and those resulting strips were sewn together to make the star points. I hand quilted it. The top went together quickly but it took me a couple of years of off and on quilting to complete it. I actually kept track for a while and it has over 200 hours of handquilting work. Unfortunately, this was my second bed size quilt and I didn't know and used poly batting which fell apart in places before I could finish it. So there are places where there is quilting but no batting. Also used cheapy JoAnn fabrics so I will never make those mistakes again. So without further ado here is the first of many pictures.
