Beautiful... didn't know they were called Amish stars. They look like a lot of work. Someone sent me one in a swap and we use it on our table every day.

You did really good--don't think I could do that well--your old secret pal.....

So pretty. I made one years ago and I still love it.

Last week I sewed my first star too. I had a difficult time with the binding so ended up turning it wrong side out and sewed around it. Yours is very pretty. I think they're fun to make.

Oh, good idea! Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I think my next one I will try one without binding. See how it goes. I kind of like making the. Might have to make a whole quilt....wouldn’t that be a heavy one?!?

Lovely pot holder...I’ve always wanted to learn how to make them.

there is a pattern with the printed foundation, you place your prairie points along the lines on the foundation fabric then stitch. They were fun, only difficulty ( other than choosing the colors/ fabrics) is that binding. But my second one turned out better than the first, so guess it just takes a little practice & patience.
The pattern/ foundation I used was from “PlumEasy Patterns- Folded Star HotPad”

Your fist ones turn out better than mine. I got the middle crooked.

Looks challenging, but yours are wonderful. Love your colors, too!
