Finally completed my Lone Star quilt! I pieced this top months ago and put off quilting it until I got some commissioned pieces done. This is the first pieced diamond star quilt I completed. It is based on the Starlight Express quilt in Jelly Roll Quilts book by Pam and Nicky Lintott. The finished measurement is 92″ x 92″ and it fits my queen size bed nicely.
I, also have a lone star UFO that needs quilted…… On my list.

I have a couple books on Lone Star quilts, I so want to make one someday if it that special diamond strata cutting looks scary. Congrats on finishing your lovely Lone Star!

Go for it. You will be pleasantly surprised that they are not as difficult as they look. The cutting is not bad and the instructions were easy to follow. Of course, I changed the pattern a little to make the star bigger. I had the most trouble matching the seams and did not do the best in that area but it is done and I will enjoy it. Hope to see you posting one soon. 🙂
