Center Lone Star


This is the center lonestar that I've hand pieced for my Civil War Stars quilt. (wish I'd have held the camera straight. lol) It's 20.5" at this point. It will set center and on point in my quilt. It took ages to piece and match up all those sharp little intersections! lol As you can imagine. Each one of those little diamonds finish off at just three fouth's of an inch! :O Still working on all the little Ohio Stars that will surround it. I've finished 16 of those and they work up to just 4". hehe. The pattern is from a book by Judie Rothermel, "Reproduction Quilts From the Civil War Period". I love her fabrics!!! :D It's another quilt that's going to take forever...but for me it's all about the journey. :)
