Lone Star in Progress....
I'm putting together this Lone Star to try my hand at hand quilting. Everything is laying nice and flat so far, I've been really careful. I plan the background to be a white-on-white, and haven't completely decided on borders yet. Thanks for looking!

Being a Texan, the Lone Star is one of my favorites, anyhow. Good job! Mine always pooch in the middle.
Very cheery and happy colors, too! |
Very pretty so far! Nice work!
|
Beautiful..
|
You are doing a fine job. Since you want a name, how about Texas Spring? (or spring in Bethlehem, since another name for that pattern is the Star of Bethlehem.)
|
This is so beautiful
|
How wonderful that spring is coming to the quilt board. It looks good - both in color and workmanship.
|
Thanks all! QM, I think Texas Spring is a great name.
Toto's Mom - I made one many years ago when I first started quiltmaking - I had a about a D-cup bulge in the middle! I had no idea back then what I had dove into, didn't understand bias or set in seams...lol. Hopefully this time with more knowledge and experience it'll be better! |
You are doing a great job. Will you also hand quilt the star?
Colors are so soothing |
I love the Lone Star and you have done a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!
|
Yes, that's the plan, hand quilting. I haven't done much hand quilting, almost none actually, I've always machine quilted. I can't wait to get this one into my hoop/stand. I have been collecting thimbles...;)
|
very pretty!!! More power to ya!!
|
nicely done!
|
Great job! I love the lone star! I have one sitting here to finish. It has problems and I haven't had time to deal with it!
|
Oh I love the clarification of the colors; looks old fashion to me. Are you doing an unbleached muslin or light color for the background. Oh so pretty ! Please post when finished the background.
Happy quilting ~ |
That will be beautiful when done!
|
Beautiful colors and the Texas Star is one of my favorite patterns. I guess since I am a Texan i love it.
|
Beautiful!! I just watched an old show Fon's & Porters last night and they did a Bethlehem star one. it only had three strips though. maybe one day i'll make one.
|
Very nice, please share pics when done :)
|
Beautiful, you have done a wonderful job.
