Drafting a Quick Lonestar Quilt

5/31/2014

 
This last week I have been immersed in preparing for the Minnesota Quilt Show.  It is two weeks away and I've been updating my handouts and files that I share with my students. 

As I was doing so, I started playing with one of the layout options in the Electric Quilt library.  Using this layout and a simple 6 x 6 block I was able to create a very quick lonestar quilt.   This would be very easy to modify for any size grid.  It just depends on how many rings you want in your lonestar.

The fabrics are a new line from Moda called Snowbirds.  They were designed by Laundry Basket Quilts.  I'm not sure if they are even in the quilt stores yet -- but it looks like a fabulous collection.
Here are the design options I came up with -- all using the same 6 x 6 block.  For the applique I decided to use a block I am teaching in my Patch Draw class in St. Cloud.
