Native star quilt pattern

When I pieced another small Lone Star block yesterday I took pictures to share how to construct it.

Sew 1/4 seams for all seams. Strip sets and sub-cut units 1. Sew a light green strip and a medium green strip together along a long side. This finished strip set should be 2.5” wide…

For every quilt show my quilt guild has a quilt challenge. If you scroll through some of my older posts you'll see some entries I've done in the past. With the birth of the twins I really didn't think I'd have time to create an entry this year (I usually do a quilt). I managed to have some time on the actual deadline day the challenge entry was due (thanks to my wonderful husband taking the twins all day!!) and decided to go for it. I certainly didn't have time to make a quilt or clothing…

....because I've decided to do a couple of BOMs this year. And none of them are small projects. I did so well at resisting them last year. But I couldn't resist these. (Much like I could't resist Shelly's Summer Garden, which I'm still working on!) I received an email from...

I made another Spiral lone star this month using pink and purple prints from the Blueberry Park collection by Karen Lewis for Robert Kaufman. The pattern and construction for this lone star is very…

I have always been fascinated with the Lone Star quilt. My first child's baby quilt was a Lone Star. Back in the dark ages the fabric was marked with pencil, and cut with scissors. We have certainly came a ways since then. I have admired a few Lone Star quilts on various blogs, and decided it was time I made a more modern version. I pondered the problem so many people have with the centre not laying flat. I came up with a solution and I was even impressed with how flat my centre was…

One way to do Hunter Star is in scrappy format with 8 different triangle sections making up each block. I really like it and probably will continue making blocks like this. Another way is to have all 8 of the triangles that make a star block of the same 2 fabrics. This is the first Hunter Star quilt top that I made in 2015. The third way was the layout of my most recent Hunter Star quilt top. In this one the quarter square blocks are 2 triangles from the same fabric combination sewn together…

I love to travel all over the globe shopping for textiles to add to my wearable art. I have taught quilting to school children in Nepal, seminole patchwork to seamstresses in Thailand, and jackets and embellishment to quilters in Turkey where I also served as a judge at 2 of their International Quilt Shows. I have created garments for 5 Fairfield and Bernina Fashion Shows and teach classes on embellishment and wearable art. Lately I have been leaning more toward making art quilts.
