This was my first lone-star, and I realize I've still got a lot to learn about quiltmaking! All those set-in squares are SO not my thing... but I can do them now. And I need to work on my pinning and accuracy! Most of my seams match pretty well, but I've got to be more careful, I think.
I also got a quilt bound - one made with the delectable mountain pattern from Bonnie's site. I'll get a picture of that one later. *Yawns* We were up late the last two nights, talking and eating and sewing and laughing, so I think a Sunday afternoon nap is called for. :)

Gorgeous! But all those set-in seams! Not for me, much as I love the finished result.
It is truly beautiful -- but I shudder at thinking of all the inset seams as well. Great work!
brave you! looks gorgeous for sure-I really like the colors you chose as well-that is a lot to get done on a retreat...
Wow, this one looks spectacular - and I don't (read can't) do set-in seams at all so I'm in awe.
It looks fantastic! I like the green trim on the set in squares and triangles. I've only done one lonestar too and I had to be super super careful because of all those bias edges.
Spectacular! that is one impressive quilt.
Spectacular and very beautifull.
Great quilt! Love the design and colors.
Looks absolutely marvelous! I can't see anything wrong with your piecing - don't tell anyone where the problems are and no one will see them. I bet Tonya (the Lazy Quilter) loves the colors of this one - right up her alley.
WOW!!! That is absolutely stunning!! And that's your FIRST Lone Star???? Gorgeous!
If that's your first lone star, I can't wait to see the second one! It
is fantastic. You did a marvelous job, IMHO.
WOW, Jane--this one is a stunner. I vote for it for viewers choice at your next quilt show.
I think we always learn something about our craft no matter how simple a quilt might be--how we might have done it differently, or what it might look like in alternate colorations, or just were we could have improved our piecing or quilting.
Like today I am tackling a curved edge block---jury is still out on this one. A few threads off at center but is it all that noticeable?? Galloping horse rule may well apply or I chalk this all off as learning experience or a block for an orphan quilt down the line.
Kudos to you for a gorgeous quilt!! I know I'm not precise enough to attempt all those set in seams that need to match perfectly. Mine would be truly wonky and amateurish. I greatly admire your talent.
Oh my gosh! It turned out beautiful!
Wow! That is gorgeous!
Well done, it looks fantastic.
