So i'm thinking, lol, why not a lonestar quilt, what is to stop me? lol Other than fear!!!!! LOL LOL LOL So i'm thinking why not? I must be bored, cus i have other projects i havent finished, but oh well :) So i've decided i can strip-piece a lonestar, simple lol, maybe? lol Course i can do it.

Here is my question, if you were going to strip-piece a lone star, what width, unfinished width, of strips do you think you would use? I just don't know what's a good size, 2 1/2? or something smaller? :) :) :)

I don't know what size strips Bab, but I applaud you. Have always wanted to try one, just haven't had the nerve. Good for you!

I think it will be easy??????? lol :) I know how to do strip piecing, so with that down pat, all i have to do is cut my finished strips at 45 degree angle, and i have that on my cutting mat :) so easy???? lol want to try one with me? :)

Ninnie

Hay Barb, I think I just might let you go first, you do the first step and then maybe I'll get up enough nerve to jump in! :D


Cluck, cluck, cluck Do I hear a chicken? yep that's me!

Mine was 2 1/2" be sure to STARCH heavy before cutting your angles....that helped me the most...good luck...:-)

Barb M

Oh thank you Cathie...i just cut my strips @ 2 1/2! Good deal :) I dont use starch, but i'll be careful, thanks for warning me

Barb M

Yup, just did all my estimations on paper lol, wonder if they're right though? lol guess i'll find out.

4 colours, pale green, peach, tan, and peach floral
8 strips of each colour, 2 1/2 x 14 maybe? lol guess i'll find out :)
