Okay, so I was really inspired by Kathleen Ware and thought I might try my hand at....A Lonestar Quilt.
So I started looking for tutorials and all that jazz. Does anyone have a suggestion? The one I've found so far it this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&condition=all
It's by Jackie Robinson, but before I fork over $30 I thought I would see if you guys have any suggestions.
Thank you in advance!

Either way, you can't wrong, but Jan's book is fabulous just to have. ;-)
Just looked - used on Amazon for $11 (a.i.)

I've made 4 using either of those 2 methods, but the most fun is in coming up with a really cool setting, something out of the ordinary.

Oh Michael...I can't wait to see what you come up with! I have quilted several...I just did one a couple weeks ago for someone local...I can't post pics because he is putting it in a show...but it was really pretty.
But he used the quilt smart method....perfect peicing becuase it is foundation pieced. So it you are worried about the bias edges...or it getting wonky you may want to to start with that method.
Good luck!
