Love the Lone Star but don't want to deal with all that work - yet. :) Made one with HST's and call it Oriental Star. Adjusted the sizes of the units so the tips of the feathers fit on the top of our bed without spilling over onto the sides. It measures 103x111. The pic is of it hanging in our guild's quilt show this past week-end.

Is this the thangles pattern that I used in my avatar?

blueangel 09-27-2011 08:07 PM

Very pretty

sandyms 09-28-2011 01:30 AM

Thanks, everyone, for the compliments! I made it using the Easy Angle, although I don't see why Thangles couldn't be used. The pattern, in case you'd like to know, is called Evening Star by Debbie Maddy. She had it finish at 80x80, I believe. I just resized the blocks so that the star points touch the edges of our bed.

doloresbeger 09-28-2011 03:10 AM

Did you size up or down and what size did you use to make it? Thanks.

AnnT 09-28-2011 04:04 AM

Very pretty!

sandyms 09-28-2011 04:25 AM

Her squares finished to 4 1/2", mine finished to 5", then I just adjusted my borders to the widths I wanted.

sandyms 09-28-2011 04:26 AM

No, it isn't. The directions had you cut 4 7/8" squares, then made into the HST's. I really like your avatar!
