Lone Star

My lone star! <3 I love the way it turned out! The points didn't all come together perfectly in the center but other than that I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Good job! I hope to make one someday. I will be happy if it turns out as good as yours.

marilynr 01-03-2016 02:19 PM

Beautiful. Looks perfect to me.

pojo 01-03-2016 02:22 PM

I think you did a great job.
Love the colors too.

luvstoquilt 01-03-2016 03:25 PM

Beautiful! No one will notice once it is quilted that the center points didn't all meet. I would be so proud of it if I were you!

Great job with your Lone Star! It is on my bucket list for 2016!!

quiltsRfun 01-03-2016 03:46 PM

Nice job! You know, I wouldn't even have noticed the points in the center if you hadn't mentioned it.

Great job. I have struggled with two Lonestars. Got one completely done and the other Lonestar is completed but awaiting applique in the setting triangles and squares. I recently found foundation piecing from Quiltsmart, and no joke, I think you can make one in a day using four fabrics for the smaller one. Foolproof (well, nearly) and so MUCH faster. The points line up perfectly with occasional tweaking needed upon occasion, but easy to do. I am not thinking I will EVER make one any other way. Congratulations on your finish.

It is beautiful. Great work.

oldquilter 01-03-2016 05:34 PM

Nice job! They are tricky.

Merrylin 01-03-2016 05:40 PM

It looks great! You did good.

ChrisDee 01-03-2016 07:41 PM

It's beautiful!

kellyer21 01-03-2016 10:41 PM

That's beautiful. It's this start actually made by sewing all of the triangles one by one?

quiltingcandy 01-03-2016 11:37 PM

It looks great. You should be pleased.

Very nice job and love your colors too.

Sharonquilts 01-04-2016 04:26 AM

Beautiful and a great job piecing!

A lonestar was one of my first quilts, done by strip piecing (the method for that particular quilt - not in general). I didn't know it was supposed to be difficult so I just jumped right in. Did Christmas colors and has been a staple of my Christmas decorating (table topper) ever since. Was rather easy to do actually with strip piecing. Biggest problem was having to straighten strip sets periodically after the angle cuts but really not too bad.

You did a great job.

HomespunHandmaiden 01-04-2016 10:59 AM

Thank you! It's actually done with strip piecing. :)

Wonderfully gorgeous!

QuiltnNan 01-04-2016 11:54 AM

nicely done

nannyrick 01-04-2016 12:09 PM

You did a fantastic job!!!

QUILTNMO 01-04-2016 12:11 PM

looks great good job!!

kiffie2413 01-04-2016 12:38 PM

Looks absolutely wonderful to me! I've made a 12" lone star block in a sampler quilt, and the inset seams drove me to almost take up drinking...lol. I seriously did end up having to do some of the piecing by hand to get it to align.

twinkie 01-05-2016 04:20 AM

I have several I have made like this but I can't seem to get past the star to make a square. Yours is very pretty.

lynnie 01-05-2016 04:59 AM

came out great, aren't they fun to make? I love it. what color corner squares are you putting in.

callen 01-05-2016 06:00 AM

I have done a Lonestar & know how difficult matching those points are. I was lucky & mine came out perfectly but if you hadn't mentioned your Center star, I never would have noticed. Looks great to me & like luvstoquilt has already said, once it's quilted, no one will ever notice, I guarantee it. Love your Lonestar !!

ManiacQuilter2 01-05-2016 07:17 AM

Nice miniature one. Be sure to remember when attaching the squares and triangles, to keep the bias side down.

MargeD 01-05-2016 11:33 AM

Good job, very pretty.

Candy Apple Quilts 01-05-2016 03:22 PM

That is so pretty --- and I love your colors!

ccthomas 01-05-2016 08:16 PM

Nice lone star

daisydebby 01-05-2016 08:19 PM

Yours is REALLY PRETTY:) Looks great. I made one....well, it's in the UFO pile still.....almost 20 yrs ago....many centers looked like volcanoes. Maybe I should get it out and try to finish it as yours is very inspiring:)

QuiltnLady1 01-05-2016 10:52 PM

Block looks great and after you quilt it you won't notice the seams are a little off. You might want to starch it heavily before adding the squares/setting triangles.

QM 01-06-2016 01:24 AM

Very nicely done. You have been busy!

bezzie1958 01-06-2016 04:36 AM

nice job love the colors

kaylfordsollimo 01-06-2016 09:15 PM

On my to-do list. Yours looks really good - love the contrast of the fabrics.

appleblossom 01-08-2016 12:37 PM

look great to me!

Lilrain 01-08-2016 09:57 PM

That is a difficult pattern, and you did well

stitchingmemories 01-10-2016 03:13 PM
