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 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.

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

I have that book.
The star made in the book uses a Black background.

Yours is very pretty, prettier than the Black background.

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