My daughter wants a Lone Star quilt top!
#1
Our DD and her fiance would love a Lone Star quilt top, but I just don't think I can do it! I've only been quilting about a year. I see some on ebay, but don't know how I would attach the fabric all around it. Tell me I can do it! I know you all will give me encouragement! Maybe there's an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance!

When you do it MAKE SURE that you don't change your order of the diamonds or your star will radiate into the corners NOT into the center. Ask me why I say that.
Lone star has lots of bias edges, so make sure you starch your fabric before cutting and don't handle the pieces a lot. Also, when using the ruler to cut the angle, align the edge after every cut. Restraighten if you have to. Again....wish I had known all that before I started mine.

Look for a pattern called "No diamonds in the sky".
It's a simpler pattern for the Lone Star without any diamond pieces.
Here are a couple posted by members here.
