Beautiful job!!

What is the name of the Book that the String Star Pattern is in and who wrote it????
Thanks.....Katrina

What a fun hanging. I would think it would be pretty easy.

That is gorgeous.

I like that, so different!

Whats the name of the book With the String Star??????

That is really neat, I really like the colors, you did a great job.

do you have a pattern you could share?

Very pretty!

This string Star quilt is absolutely beautiful and I would love to make one! I tried to google it and still could not find it. If you have the actually name of the pattern and the author, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Wow...that star shines.

cool idea !!

You nailed the color thing! Sweet !!!

I absolutely ADORE your String Star !!! Such terrific workmanship..... everything just POPS. You should be very proud. I'd love to make one of these myself. :thumbup:

That is AMAZING. Such good choice of colors... wow. :)

I sent an email out to my quilting friends and my girlfriend Rebecca found it. It is called "Out On A String". It was found on Quiltville.com

So beautiful!

I wholeheartedly agree - colors are warm and inviting.

Here is a tutorial

very pretty.

I don't see a photo???

Beautiful, I am fairly new to quilting and disect when I look to try to figure out how it goes together. Great job great colors!

Google:

"Quilting Workshops~ Techniques & Patterns~"

ISBN 1-885588-32-1

The name of the pattern in this book is called:

"String pieced star" by Beverly Dunivent; and the directions are on page 18 of this book.
The author makes her wall hanging at 32.5" x 36" and uses assorted 1930s prints with a solid Black background and border trim 30s with a final Black border to compliment her color choice.

It looks to me that this star here is bigger than the Quiltville star pattern.
Either way, it's string pieced in my opinion and the quiltville has (8) points, the one in the book has (6) points to the star and is bigger.


**My mistake here, there is a difference in the star points and size.
Either way they all are very Beautiful.

Love it...

love it

Great colors that would brighten these stormy days!

Why are they called"string" :?: :?:

That is great. Love the colors and the fabrics you used.

Nicely done. It looks fantastic!

Thanks everyone for looking and placing comments about my work.
As you remember,I had the pattern from a friends book, but I didn't know the books name.So I had to ask my friend first. Here is the name of the book: Quick Quilts from the Heart by Liz Porter & Marianne Fons.

This is the book: Quick quilts from the Heart by Liz Porter & Marianne Fons.

I love it! Great job!

So cheerful! I love it :D:D:D

Oh, so pretty!

This is great love the colour but I have a question. How do you keep your seems from being a big lump in he center? I tried this once and had trouble were all the seams come together in the center.Yours looks perfect.

I always iron my seams open, also when i do the final seam to put the 2 halfs together.I press the center from both sides of the quilt a few times to get it as flat as possible. When I did my very first star, I had the same trouble in the center, but then I figured out, what works best for me.

Okay so seams open. That's so much for the help. I just might make that Lonestar quilt yet.

oh wow. I love that!! Gorgeous!

WHAT is the name of the book, please?? LOVE the star !!!
