I took my chance....
 

...at trying to make a Strata Star....and then it ended being 3 Strata Stars!!!
The 2 top ones were done in the last 3 days. As my hubby is coming home after 7 weeks away, I had to serve my patchwork cravings in finishing those 2 stars as while he's home (only a few days), he's the center of my attentíon!!! :) The bottom one was the first one I made.
Those are only the tops of course, still to be sandwiched and quilted but that will be done when hubby is gone again.
You all have a lovely week-end and thanks for looking.

Very nice. I love that last one.

Those are all fabulous!

those are great.

nicely done

Beautiful!!!!!

All looking good.

Very pretty!!

All are beautiful. My favorite is the pink and green.

Pretty, very pretty. Let us see the end results.

Next to OBW this is a favorite to make. When I finish mine I use the birthing method rather than binding. Easy with all the points and valleys. Enjoy your time with hubby, time does go quickly.

I have been trying to work out how they go together!!looks difficult ! they are lovely

Wonderful work!!

Very nice all. I love the last one too.

they are all pretty. but I love the watermelon look of the last one.

Very pretty!!

These are so kool. Did you have a special ruler to do these? Looks like there are some in my future. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

I really like that center one--and how you prioritize your hubby. Enjoy your time together.

Love all three, but really like the first one. Thanks for sharing.

Love this pattern! All are great!!

very pretty love the first one great colors!!!

I told you the second one is easy! lol. I am still waiting to cut my Christmas ones out, let alone sew them. You have a lovely time with your husband :o and if I don't see you on Thursday I will see you when I get home from my cruise. xx

Love them. Very nice!!!

So easy and quick to make!!! Once you've done your first one with all the mistakes you have to fix again :) , the next ones are really done in an afternoon. There is a tutorial on QB but I can't find it anymore. Maybe you have time to look for it. Good luck and have a great Sunday!!!

No Brenda, I used my square 12 1/2" ruler and put some tape across the corner on 5 1/2" and 9". The strips are 2" and you have to make 4 sets of 4 different fabric (I just used the width of the fabric - might need an extra set if your fabric is very narrow) and when the strips are sewn together they have to be 6 1/2". Good luck!!!

They are wonderful. Truly great color combos.

I won't be in this Thursday. I wish you a great time on your cruise, lots of fun but also a good rest and I shall see you when you get back, by then I might have made my Christmas ones :) Take care!!! HUGS!!!

yummie Love them all. Thanks for sharing.

Positively lovely!!!!!!!!!!!

Love all 3- great DH is home! This is on my to do list- great job.

A couple of ladies had asked me in a PM about this pattern and after quite a bit of searching I found it and that's the one I followed to make my stars. Good luck!!! :)

The only thing I did differently, I used my 12 1/2" ruler, took it on an angle and stuck some tape on the 5 1/2" marker for the small triangles and on 9" for the large ones. I found it easier.

Love how they all look so different.I've made quite a few of them that I was asked by my quild to teach a class.20 have signed up..Have you tried 1.5 strips? Fun...........

They are very pretty, I don't know which one I like more, now I want to try one.

They are all beautiful, look complicated!

No Mary, I haven't tried 1.5 strips and actually I was thinking about it and wondering... How many different fabric do you take and on what do you align your ruler to cut the triangles???
Would love to get your input on that. Thanks :)

They all look great - and hubby does deserve your attention! :)

I've made these and been pleased with how easy they are once you get the hang of them. Yours are so pretty

Awesome. They look very complicated but yours are wonderful. Enjoy your time with DH as he will be off again before you know it.

I love this design! I made it with 2 1/2 inch strips;)..turned out a bed size so..I want to make a table topper size! I really like the pink and green.
