i started to make a lone star without a pattern (crazy i know) ive never made one befor and for some reason i had it in my head that i needed to cut the strips at a 60 degree angle. so now i have a six pointed star insted off an 8 pionted star so my question is what is my star called is it still a lone star? and how do i make the setting triangles now since i cant use 90 degree triangles and sqares? please help
this is what it looks like [ATTACH=CONFIG]235407[/ATTACH] |
I would probably applique the star on background material! It is beautiful!
EDIT: Since you haven't sewn the star points together yet, could you put your background material on the sides of your star points and miter them together? |
It looks like it would still work. Just sew one half together (3 parts) then
do the same with the other side and add them together in a straight line. Hope I explained this well. Should work fine and you will have a nice lone star. Edit: I think you will have to do some math or use graph paper to figure out the angles for the setting triangles. |
i was thinking i might have to do this but was wondering if there was an easyer way hopfully i can figure this out its the center for a quilt im donating for a fundraise so it has to look good.

The classic 6 Point Star is the Star of David. Yours is unique, haven't seen this before, maybe you can be the one to give it a name.

Whatever you call it, it is beautiful. Wonderful colors.

hey how many points dose the star off bethleham have is it 6 or 8? maybe thats what i made.

If you continued in the 60 degree idea, would putting in 2 60 degree triangles work on each side indent? You would end up with a hexagon shape? Would that be easier to continue?

No matter what you call it, I call it beautiful!!!!
