Lone Star Quilt

This is a Lone Star Quilt made by Karen T. from a class taught by Winnie Fleming at Quakertown Quilt Store. Karen chose to make hers in black, tan and muted reds. It is perfect! So, beautiful and elegant.



She had me quilt the tan fabric with swirls. I LOVE the look of the swirls!

Karen asked me to quilt feathers in the black fabric. You can't see it as well as I had hoped. Sorry. You can see it a bit better in the picture below.

The Lone Stars are made with strips of fabric and cut on the bias. Then the strips are flipped opposite ways to make two different stars with the same strip. I think that these two stars (the one above and the one closest below) are the same strip, just opposite. 

This is such a beautiful quilt!
Good work, Karen!
