A lonestar was one of my first quilts, done by strip piecing (the method for that particular quilt - not in general). I didn't know it was supposed to be difficult so I just jumped right in. Did Christmas colors and has been a staple of my Christmas decorating (table topper) ever since. Was rather easy to do actually with strip piecing. Biggest problem was having to straighten strip sets periodically after the angle cuts but really not too bad.
You did a great job.
