The lone star is one of my favourite patterns and you have done a wonderful job :thumbup:

If you want a king size, this site has instructions. That happened to be the size I needed for this quilt, so worked out well for me.

Only problem with these instructions that I noticed was for the yardage needed....one was off, but you could use the left over for binding.

Beautiful job - I'm sure she will love it!

I really like the lone star pattern, and want to try it. Yours is beautiful!! I love working with batiks.

Very pretty and I love the colors. Very good Job.

I havent had the guts to try that one yet, yours is beautiful,hope mine turns out as well once i try it.

that's gorgeous. i love all those browns

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I strip piece my color sets and then sub cut at a 45 degree angle. Kind of tricky to get the points to match up...that's one of the things I had forgotten about this pattern. I think I finally figured it out though.
One reason I like to do quilts for this lady is she and I like the same colors.
I have enough of my pieced panels to make me a purse. I haven't decided if I will cut them into diamond strips or leave them the way they are.

I sent this to my machine quilter. She has a very old quilting machine, only does 6 in. pantograph patterns. This pattern she calls tear drop or rain drops. I call it loop-t-loops.

that is pretty
