Newbie from Wyoming

I'm new at this but anxious to connect with fellow quilters. I have been quilting for about 8 years now and love it! My ultimate goal is a king size Lone Star Quilt! I have the strips cut but nervous to start sewing!

Welcome from NW Iowa. You will love this site of wonderful quilters. Everyone is very helpful and I feel they really care about each other. It was a very wonderful find when I was in a lot of pain from a fractured vertebrae in the lumbar and couldn't do much sewing or anything.

Welcome from South Louisiana. A lone star quilt is on my todo list, but I haven't started cutting yet. I will look forward to seeing your progress.

Welcome from NJ. Lone Star is a beautiful quilt. After you get your strip sets sewn, don't get frustrated when cutting the diamond shape. It frequently gets distorted and you'll need to do some 'straightening' cuts along the way. Use LOTS of starch. Jump in and do it.
