Pattern Scrappy Lone Star Mini Quilt now on Etsy

Remember the Lone Star Mini Quilt I made last year? I'm happy to announce that the pattern is now available in my Etsy shop.



This little beauty measures 8'' square, so this is not a project for the faint of heart, but very satisfying when it is done!



In the meantime we are having a great time exploring our new hometown. Yesterday we visited the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Royal Botanic Gardens, then took the ferry back to the Northern Beaches. Here's a pic a friendly lady took of us:

Lone Star Mini Quilt

My love affair with Lone Star quilts is not over yet - after making the red and white Lone Star and Starimekko last year, I decided to try a Lone Star Mini Quilt. I used strips that were 1 inch wide (!) to strip-piece the eight points of the star. The finished quilt measures 8 inch / 20cm square. To give you a sense of scale I have made a photo of the quilt with my fabric scissors:



The quilt is made up of fabric scraps (the binding fabric and the black and white fabric are leftovers from the Rainbow Floor Cushion) and I used Aurifil threads for piecing and quilting. It's hanging in my sewing room now and I love looking at it!
