This is the latest quilt I made. Will be shipping it off to Arizona in a few days.
I like to make quilt for this lady. She calls me when she wants a new one tells me the size, colors she want and leaves the rest to me. Hope she will be please with what I did.
I hadn't made a lone star for so many years I forgot how to do one. Had to go searching on the web for instructions.
Picture may look a little dark but if view full size I think it will look better.

I like it :)

Gorgeous! The borders are just right - a beautiful frame for the glorious star :)

Its beautiful quilt .

WOW, that is gorgeous!!

Very nice!

I am sure she will be pleased......... your work is great

Just beautiful! You did a wonderful job, and your lady is going to be so happy!

It's beautiful!!!

Thank you all.
There were a few "fists" for me in the quilt. Most of the fabrics are batiks (a first), some I bought from the LQS, but ordered some on-line (another first). The other first was to sew my two stripe and the brown borders all together in one long piece to use as one border and mitered the corners. Worked out just right, had about 6 inches left over from that and only a few inches left over on the last border...that was good because I had bought that fabrics about 4 yrs ago.

It's beautiful!!! This pattern is very high on my to do list. I hope mine comes out as good as yours!!! Nice colors.

What a stunning quilt, well done! :-)

I think that it looks awesome!

WOW!!! I love the fabrics and you did an awesome job on it :D:D:D

Beautiful!!!

I love it!

Very, very nice!

It's beautiful.

SO PRETTY! How did you quilt it.

Beautiful. I love the lone star pattern.

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

Wow that quilt is BEAUTIFUL.

Very nicely done. I like it. :thumbup:
