Newbie from Wyoming
I'm new at this but anxious to connect with fellow quilters. I have been quilting for about 8 years now and love it! My ultimate goal is a king size Lone Star Quilt! I have the strips cut but nervous to start sewing!

Welcome from NW Iowa. You will love this site of wonderful quilters. Everyone is very helpful and I feel they really care about each other. It was a very wonderful find when I was in a lot of pain from a fractured vertebrae in the lumbar and couldn't do much sewing or anything.

Just jump right in and start sewing. "Finished is better than perfect." If you have questions there are a lot of people here that will be willing to help you. Welcome and waving from your neighbor to the south, Colorado

Welcome from NJ. Lone Star is a beautiful quilt. After you get your strip sets sewn, don't get frustrated when cutting the diamond shape. It frequently gets distorted and you'll need to do some 'straightening' cuts along the way. Use LOTS of starch. Jump in and do it.
