Okay, agreed, I'm old and my eyesight just ain't what it used to be, but for the life of me I can't find a single point that is off. Not one! great job. You should be very proud of yourself.
I am still working up the nerve to do a Lone Star, just not quite there yet.

Your quilt is beautiful. I couldn't imagine just using 2 colors but you did an amazing job.

Normally my rule is 3, with this one tough, I thik Iripped some up to 5 or 6 times...I really wanted it to be perfect...alas, it does keep me humble,lol :mrgreen: Thanks for the suggestion about basting.
