Well, since I've never made a lone star quilt, and this doesn't use 45
degree diamonds, I guess you'd call it a lone star "like" pattern. I can draw an expanded 8 point star on 1/4 inch grid using HSTs. The colors would lay differently than in a lone star diamond, and if I were doing it I'd have to have a colored pattern in front of my face or it would get all messed up The pattern I drew on the 1/4 graph paper measured 3 inches sq. and I was able to use 4 colors. Has anyone else come up with this? Bonnie "Kathy in CA" wrote in message ... In one of the stores on the Quilter's Run on Sun, Calimesa I think, I saw a Lone Star quilt made in HSTs. I figuered out the first set of points. The 8 pts can be all one color, 2 colors or 8 colors. The part I am am having trouble figuring out is the next round to make it bigger and use different colors for that round. Does anyone know where I can find a pattern for a large Lone Star using HSTs for free or purchase. |

There was a pattern published several years ago for a Lone star- like quilt,
I have a copy of the picture if that would help. Also for those who want to make a lone star QNM published instructions inMay of '93 for any size Star you want. -- Mauvice in Central WI USA "Kathy in CA" wrote in message ...
