I was playing last night and decided to try and make a Lone star quilt as I have not made one of these yet . Although it is only small around 53" I am happy with the way it all came together.
I used the fabrics I got last year from the lovely Lillian for my birthday, as well as a few from my stash. I will have fun with quilting this one as I am full of ideas and have not the chance to quilt one of these before.
I have managed to get hold of the pattern " Reach for the Stars" that I was looking for from a wonderful customer, who got it from her friend in South Australia . So I will have to make this one soon , I am still in the process of getting 31 yards of fabric together for it (wow I was surprised when I saw how much was needed) . I have started and it is all civil war fabrics so yummy, so next post I will show you what I have got so far.
Happy sewing
