Okay, so I was really inspired by Kathleen Ware and thought I might try my hand at....A Lonestar Quilt.

So I started looking for tutorials and all that jazz. Does anyone have a suggestion? The one I've found so far it this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&condition=all

It's by Jackie Robinson, but before I fork over $30 I thought I would see if you guys have any suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

Either way, you can't wrong, but Jan's book is fabulous just to have. ;-)

Just looked - used on Amazon for $11 (a.i.)

I've made 4 using either of those 2 methods, but the most fun is in coming up with a really cool setting, something out of the ordinary.

Perhaps a bottle of wine or other spirits may be neccessary - I have made them several times and I still get the poofy middle - I have not given up just going to wait a while. Good luck...Otis

I'll be interested in your answers. My husband tells me he wants a king size Lone Star!!

Oh Michael...I can't wait to see what you come up with! I have quilted several...I just did one a couple weeks ago for someone local...I can't post pics because he is putting it in a show...but it was really pretty.
But he used the quilt smart method....perfect peicing becuase it is foundation pieced. So it you are worried about the bias edges...or it getting wonky you may want to to start with that method.

Good luck!

redroosterfabrics.com has a smaller lonestar. I've seen more on some of the other fabric manufacturers sites too.

I have the Jan Krentz book and it is very inspiring. Can't wait to see your lonestar.

You can buy a pattern from www.quiltsmart.com it is a printed fusable interfacing and all you do is fuse flip and stitch all of the 8 star points and there are no "Y" seam on this one. Very easy to do and it cost about the same as the book you were looking at. That's how I made my first one and then I did the strada methind on my lone star table toppers and they turned out real nice too. Good luck with what ever you do. Huggies, Fay
