  2. Hi Caro, thank you so much! There is no specific pattern for this quilt. It was inspired by an antique quilt I had seen. Once it's completed I just may create a pattern from it. Thanks so much for your interest!

  3. I love this and was wondering how big the stars are across, since there is no pattern I am prepared to make my own, just wondering the size of the stars. Thanks for your help. It is beautiful/

  4. I love this quilt!!! A few months ago I passed up the opportunity to buy an antique quilt that was very similar. I am still kicking myself for it! I have printed out some 60/30 grid paper to start designing my own on creams, reds, and browns. I was shocked that I have not been able to find a pattern out there and I don't know how to do the 30/60 thing in EQ. I am realizing that the 6 pointed lone-star like design is pretty rare. Thanks for the extra inspiration!!! I hope you show some close up quilting pics when you haven them!!!!

    1. Thanks Cathy! I did tons of looking online for anything that would give me info on making this quilt and I found nothing. And EQ doesn't have a layout that works for this type quilt. You are right, the six-pointed star quilt is very rare, and I have found out why---it is VERY challenging! Not so much the stars themselves, but putting everything together is very difficult, probably one of the hardest sewing feats I've dealt with in a long time. I never thought about it until it actually came time to sew everything together. But don't let that intimidate you, it is worth the effort. I may have to write instructions and make a pattern after this is completed, although it may be awhile! I am still assembling mine and may design a border, but will post an update in the future. Thanks for your interest!

  8. This is very pretty and I am sure a lot of work. Do you mind if I ask how you are constructing it? Are you paper piecing or doing strips?
