Absolutely gorgeous!!! Lone Stars are the bane of my existence! I simply can not get one to lay down for me! It is so frustrating! But, you did a beautiful job!

Some people are born to this craft; I'd say you're definitely one of them, with vision, determination, skill, and a lovely color sense. Bravo! :D

It turned out fantastic. I've made more than 6 and have no intention of ever attempting the Lone Star. Just way too many angled pieces for me.
You are a beautiful quilter.

Thank you all for yor encouraging comments. And yes this was definitely my first attempt at FMQ. I had practiced on sandwhich squares but did find that to be completely different from trying to maneuver n entire quilt through my domestic machine.

A "gift for friends"? ! .... wow .... can I be your friend?
I'd have to live with it at my house for quite a while before I could part with it. Your friends better feel amazingly blessed when you present it to them.

All aspects (color choice, piecing, FMQ) of this quilt are wonderful ... You did a great job .... Perseverence really paid off.... What a sense of accomplishment you must feel ....
Be Proud!
