I made the lone star out of the books Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!!
The authors used a strip piecing technique then the strip sets were cut at a 45 degree angle. I found it very easy. The only trouble I had was it volcanoed up in the center. I ripped and resewed just the center bit several times and still ended up with about an "a" cup in the center but it quilted out beautifully. I hand quilted it. Here is a picture.

I made a large wall hanging years ago. I used strip piecing. It was one of the first quilts I did and it was easy, just time consuming. A friend saw it and bought it for his wife. It was hand quilted, too.
