I've always thought it would be really cool to make a lone star quilt.
They look so complex, but I think I'm ready to take on the challenge.
(That and the pattern I am using makes it pretty easy)
I found an awesome kit on connectingthreads.com around Christmas time and was able to catch it when it went on clearance for half price. I picked up an extra kit for another friend so we could motivate each other to complete it.
(Unfortunately Connecting Threads no longer lists the kit or else I would try for some better photos :/)
School has kept me so busy that I haven't gotten a chance to start,
but I took some time today to start making some cuts.
I'm excited to watch this quilt come together.
And just a side note.... Take the stickers off the self-healing mat
BEFORE you start cutting!
Otherwise you get to pick hundreds of little pieces off the board.
Also be sure to wipe off any sticky residue that is left behind.
More please. Have you made anymore and just not posted? Crafting is the bomb. Wish I had some skills. I mean, other than what I have, obviously.
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well for you.
Hey Josh! I think I've completed one quilt since then. I've worked on a few others but haven't finished them. I've also done some small side crafts but haven't thought to post any of them.
DeleteI can't believe its been two years since I last posted! Once the crazy-ness that is the end of the quarter is finished I'll try and get some new stuff put up! Hope things are going well for you as well! Thanks for stopping by!
